New England Patriots:

Well the big question on everyone’s mind this morning was, “What about the tight end?” Head coach Pete Carroll gave the latest “Ben Coates Update” during his press conference on Thursday.

If Vegas made book on this, think of the fortune you’d now have with just a little capital and a lot of bravery.

The Patriots defense has a new leader emerging in the secondary, and it’s not Pro Bowl cornerback Ty Law.

Sending a letter to an athlete may seem like a waste of time to most people out there. They feel it’s not worth it because the letter may never find it’s way to them to be read. But you’d be surprised.

With the signing of Ty Law, and if a similar deal is done with Lawyer Milloy, cap room will be even more at a premium. Justifying Brown’s presence and importance on the team will be crucial to the Patriots’ decision to retain him or not.
