Patriots Interested in David Bowens

The Patriots are reportedly interested in free agent defensive end David Bowens.  Bowens has been playing for Miami and has been a great backup / occasional starter.  He is a good pass rusher, and has been averaging 6 sacks a season over the last three years.  If the Patriots signed Bowens, born in 1977, he would likely compete with the most part dissapointing Marquise Hill.

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
