The Patriots have salary cap space and a Patrick Chung sized hole to fill at safety. Could Earl Thomas find his way to Foxborough?
CBS Sports listed New England as the second most likely landing spot behind Dallas for the 31-year-old seven-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro writing:
“This almost feels inevitable, doesn’t it? New England never hesitates to explore veteran castoffs. Starting safety Patrick Chung opted out of the season. Thomas is known for his high football IQ. If the Patriots are dead serious about playing low-scoring, defensively geared football in 2020, adding someone with Thomas’ pedigree seems like a no-brainer, even if only for one year.
