We brought in Tim tebow and Albert haynesworth.
Clearly we aren't above checking out garbage players
Fair enough.

I know this is off topic, but I wanted to comment on this.
In 2008 Brady was injured for almost the entire season. In 2009, we traded Cassell to KC. Did Belichick make sure we had an experienced back up in 2010? No, we went with an undrafted rookie free agent.
Sure we signed a former second round pick (Andrew Walter) and he was beaten out by that undrafted rookie free agent (Bryan Hoyer), but it's been a long time since we've had a veteran back up.
The difference between 2008 (the Cassell season) and 2016 are obvious and it begins with the number of candles on Tom Brady's next birthday cake.I know this is off topic, but I wanted to comment on this.

Matt Elam arrested. Unsure if BB will take some sniff or not.
I just read that the Bills may cut DT Kyle Williams... he's a guy similar in build to Alan Branch.. a solid veteran who has never sniffed a championship
I imagine they stay in contact but it's fairly clear that he wants to test the market barring a monster deal. We got 2 SB out of the cheap years of him. Now we'll have to overpay so I'm ambivalent about keeping him, leaning towards letting him go unless he gets less than expected.Mario Addison resigned with the panthers. Does anyone think management's making any contact with hightower to get a deal done?

I'd actually be on the phone with teams seeing if someone would trade us a #2 for a Franchised Hightower.
Gonna be 34 in a couple of months. How much he has left?

Here, Here on AP. Yes, he can still play. How do you double team Gronk and our WR with AP? He also can catch out of the backfield.Why not?
Assuming you're serious, Brandon Marshall hasn't excited a lot of people in NY and Peterson is damaged goods.Brandon Marshall WR - NY Jets. They need cap space so bad and cutting him frees up 7.5 million. I think he'd be the same as or a little better than Michael Floyd for one year. Floyd would be better on a longer term deal because he's so young.
Adrian Peterson RB - Minnesota Vikings. I bet he has one year left in the tank. If not, so long as he comes on a deal with incentives and per game bonuses, it would at least an interesting lottery ticket.
I think the Pats draw the line somewhere and Adrian Peterson is on the other side of that line. Just my opinion.Here, Here on AP. Yes, he can still play. How do you double team Gronk and our WR with AP? He also can catch out of the backfield.
As far as All Pro FA's, Calais Campbell comes to mind. 6'8" 300lbs and aggressive. All Pro this year. I love Long but he'd be an upgrade on long and I hate to say, the fading Nink. Think Seymour. Campbell 8 sacks in 2016.
Under the Radar FA? Ingram
Non Pro Bowl players that could assist the Pats in 2017 they could steal? Mychal Kendricks. OLB who can cover and run. Another Eagles cast off.
How about a trade shocker? Antonio Brown for our #32? There is a little friction there in Pitt. There has been some under the breath discontent (see Randy Moss). You have all heard the rumors. Big Ben even talking retirement? Why? What a great parting gift for Mr. Brady in AB? Almost "Branch like". The "Commish" would probably void it........The scoreboard would light up like a pinball machine.

I would have loved to see Steve Smith Sr. play for us.
