There's never a dull moment when the NFL free-agency frenzy kicks off.
That is, unless you're waiting for the New England Patriots to make their first big move. Then there are a lot of dull moments.
Restlessness has turned to apoplexy as the Northeast waits with bated breath for its pride-and-joy football team to make headlines. Of course, none of this should come as a surprise to anyone who's paid attention over the past 17 offseasons with Bill Belichick at the helm of the organization.
This is the Patriots free-agency modus operandi du jour: wait until the dust settles on the top of the market, then strike on some of the second-tier free-agents who help fill needs and fit the system.
