Couple things to pass along with thoughts as we round the first full 24 hours of free agency.
First, Darrelle Revis has been released and there’s been plenty of speculation that he’s going to land with the Pats. As much as I’d love that to happen, I’m going to wait on any kind of analysis or conjecture until he actually does land somewhere. But there’s no question Revis > Talib. I’ll leave it at that for now.
Albert Breer reports the Pats are working on an extension for Vince Wilfork which should bring them some immediate cap relief. Couple that with the release of Isaac Sopoaga, a move everyone expected, and the Pats suddenly could have plenty of cap space to work with.
Doug Kyed of NESN.com also reports the Pats have shown some interest in receiver Jason Avant. Another veteran depth/competition move. You never know who might just “get it” with Brady like Jabar Gaffney did in 2006 so they keep throwing guys like that at the wall, especially to push the rookies.
I’ve received a ton of questions in the inbox, sorry I haven’t gotten to any of them yet. I’m just waiting for the Pats to start making some moves before I start analyzing what has or hasn’t happened.
I have a feeling the next 48 hours are going to be crazy so stick around…
