Re: Who says the Pats are never big players in free agency?

They had Mason in here for a visit, they tried to sign Samari Rolle and Jurevicius, they countered with a strong effort to Givens. In recent years they have tried to sign big ticket guys but it just hasn't worked out.
And of course, Colvin was one of the top free agents the year he was signed, and that same year they signed Rodney.

Well, they actually offered Mason more money than the Ravens, but his wife wanted to live in Baltimore. Since he is upset with his playing time, I think he regrets that decision.
