Bill Simmons Rips ‘Cheap’ Patriots For Squandering Free Agent Opportunity

The New England Patriots offensive line stabilized in recent weeks, but it’s still the weakest positional group on the team.

The Patriots haven’t done much to improve the unit during the season, bringing in a castoff like Ben Brown and signing Michael Jordan from their practice squad.
