The New England Patriots were not particularly active adding outside talent during the first week of free agency; only three players from outside the organization were acquired. It was not for a lack of trying, though, at least on the part of Pro Bowl linebacker Matthew Judon.
Whether it was wide receiver Allen Robinson or linebacker Bobby Wagner, Judon tried to recruit some of the most noteworthy players available to New England. His hit rate was not overly impressive — Robinson joined the Los Angeles Rams, Wagner remains unsigned — but the second-year Patriot is apparently not one to easily give up.
