Free agency officially began at midnight, but don't expect to hear of any Patriots signings for about a week to ten days. They typically do not set the market, rather they prefer to wait for the big name, big ticket free agents to sign, then go after their typical second tier free agent. With the start of free agency, a lot of players under contract are due their roster bonuses, so many veterans have been cut in the last two days (Drew Bledsoe for instance.) Here are some of the players that were cut that the Pats may be interested in (at least they intrigue me).
CB Fred Smoot
TE Jermaine Wiggins
TE Ernie Conwell
WR Joe Horn
LB Joey Porter
LB Brian Simmons
TE Christian Fauria
RB Jamal Lewis
WR Keenan McCardell
Randall Gay was offered a second round tender offer of 1.3 mil. Because he's a restriced free agent, if another team signs him they would have to give the Pats their 2nd round pick.
Daniel Graham is scheduled to meet with the Broncos today and then most likely Seattle, but do not expect him back in New England next season.
