Report: New England Patriots re-sign TE Michael Hoomanawanui | masslive.com
Solid signing for a base-level of insurance at tight end. I’m sure there are a couple more signings and/or draft picks at the position, but Hooman ensures a 2013 base level of production, which wasn’t elite but was passable.
But seriously, fans…we hope Aqib Talib stays with the #Patriots

Patriots mock draft 2.0: Best player available in all 7 rounds – Going Deep – Boston.com
New mock from Frenz, some good names…
The Patriots have been negotiating with Talib’s people, but they don’t like to shell out big bucks to veterans with long injury histories and lingering character concerns. During this weekend’s speed-dating period, Talib’s name started popping up in the usual places. You see, this is Old Patriots thinking at work. The New Patriots reality is that they need a Pro Bowl caliber cornerback, in his prime, right now, even if they have to spend a little more than they would like to keep him.

Thoughts from the free-agent trail – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN
Good summation of where we’re at so far in the “legal tampering period”. If the Pats are able to get a second round pick for Mallett I don’t know how they can turn that down.
As for Talib and Edelman, the market’s going to dictate what happens. But the Pats are experts at knowing what kind of offers will be out there and I’d bet they have competitive contracts on the table for both.
With the Redskins allegedly interested in Talib it makes me think he could be gone. They could offer him more than he could turn down.
