One of the things I like, so far, with the Patriots approach to player signings (their own and other team free agents) is they are signing players 30 years old or younger.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I wasn't digging their Joey Galloway/Tory Holt approach of the past. Too many players were added in the recent past that were past their prime IMHO.
So far this year it's been guys like Fanene (30), Tracy White (30), Steve Gregory (29), Connolly (29), Marcus Harrison (28), Slater (27), and Kyle Love (26). I was happy they signed Connolly over Koppen for example.
IMO, when you trade for or sign an older player, you add risk to the equation, ie, can they still play at a high level? I like what they've quietly been doing so far. It'll set the team up nicely for their 6 picks in the first 4 rounds in April.
Now let's get a receiver (Lloyd is 30 and A. Gonzalez is 27)
