The New England Patriots have been very active in the free agent market. They had cap room and they had areas of need. The areas of need included a pass rushing defensive end and a go-to wide receiver. These areas of need were noticeably skipped in the draft by the Patriots. They decided to focus on other areas to bolster their roster. Instead, they gambled that with the lock-out firmly in place, they'd be able to acquire veteran help.
Of all the free agents available, it was obvious the Pats wouldn't be looking to pick-up any of the side show vets available, you know, like an Ochocinco or a Hayneswoth. That would truly be crazy...Belichick isn't that crazy, is he? Well...define crazy!
Belichick signed not only one, but both of the above mentioned players. Ochocinco and Albert Haynesworth are now with the Patriots. I've listened to all the pundits say this is crazy, it won't work, blah blah blah. The last time I checked, Belichick had three Super Bowl rings...crazy like a fox!!
