I really think Arrington and Peterson would impact the LB situation, but also may want way too much money; more than the Patriots wish to shell out at this time. There are also character/injury issues which may keep them away; don't see much movement to either of these.
I think with Adam, the next move is up to him. He wishes to play here..go for it. He wants bigger bucks, good luck. At some point, he will either sign here or go elsewhere and the Pats will either resign him or no in another direction. My feelig is they have their next possible kicker already in line, just in case. Would I like AV back..yes?? But at this point, I really have less cares about who the kicker is.
Boerigter is intriguing..and I think a good signing for short money. KJ might be more expensive and more of a problem for the team. If he's all about the bucks or about HIM getting the ball I think it's a non-starter. That scenario will be played out in the next few days. MB though should be in Foxboro soon...added to the mix.
Tank is a solid player...but I think it may be hard to find him here as there are many competing for him.
As for OL, Runyan, Walker and Hopkins....maybe either Tunyan or Hopkins could be a good vet leader for the OL. BH may be a bit long in the tooth at 36 and I would think Walker may be wishing more money elsewhere. Really though, they only need 1 vet OT..just one.
Fred Beasley is intriguing but again, I would think they wanted to go young on the RB/FB position. May be an interesting addition though...don't know that much about what he adds to the table.
