not sure how much difference this makes but it seems the Tampa writer has changed the quote of interest by the Pats a few times
1) the original quote is in this tweet above
2) the second change is in this link:
Pats 'may have an interest' in Gerald McCoy
Key change here is last sentence that changed from "New England Patriots, who
showed interest in signing the six-time Pro Bowler"
3) and now the third change is in this link:
Bucs release defensive tackle Gerald McCoy
Key change here is the last sentence saying "New England Patriots, who
may have an interest in signing the six-time Pro Bowler" is removed completely and now says the what is underlined above.
