Patriots Notes and Rumors : 3/23/07
Patriots Look At Linebacker Edgerton Hartwell
This is old news, but the Patriots are looking at free agent linebacker Edgerton Hartwell. He is a solid player, and can provide good depth. The Patriots have been tracking him for a couple of weeks, and I think that if he’s signed, that may mean that Junior Seau won’t be.
Redskins Release WR David Patten
The Redskins have released WR David Patten after he spent only 2 seasons. He was relatively unproductive. Could there be a return (to the Patriots) in the making?
Patriots Sign Free Agent Cornerback Eddie Jackson
The Patriots signed free agent defensive back Eddie Jackson to a two year contract. He is a good special teams player and a decent nickel back, however he tore his ACL late last season. The Pats signed him to a two year deal which likely means he won’t play this year.
Patriots Resign Several Players
Bam Childress
– He was an exclusive rights free agent. 1 year contract.
Mike Wright – He was exclusive rights. I think he might have walked away for a big contract if he wasn’t.
Rashad Baker - Restricted free agent
Corey Mays – exclusive rights free agent
Gene Mruczkowski – restricted free agent
