Patriots-based free agency chatter -ESPN Boston Patriots Blog

For those of you looking to ride the free agency rumor train there’s some fun speculation in this link. Personally I don’t really get too worked up about “the Patriots are interested in this guy” talk, in all likelihood they’re gauging interest and price for just about everyone on the market. That’s what good teams do.

It’s also quite common for agents to say the Patriots are interested in their players just because they know it will drive the cost up and/or force other teams to potentially get involved. So until the Patriots actually sign someone don’t expect there to much rumor-mongering here.
