Not really, I’ve believed all along that Talib should be the priority in free agency. Edelman’s the only other one who might make sense to touch base with, but I don’t think they’re worried about the market putting him out of the Pats’ range.
Talib on the other hand could get significant interest on the market so it would make sense to try and work something with him out asap.
They also could be trying to lock down some restructures on guys like Connelly/Wilfork/Kelly.
The thing I don’t understand is why they cut a player like Gregory now, but are still sitting on the rest of probable cut guys like Sopoaga. Sometimes it seems like they are almost too patient, but they have a knack for letting the market come to them.
