The Patriots continued to restock their defense Friday.
Defensive end Adrian Clayborn, viewed among the best pass rushers in free agency, agreed to join the AFC champions Friday night after a fruitful visit to Gillette Stadium, according to a source. The two sides hit it off throughout the day, and momentum built throughout the afternoon to align the forces.
Prior to the signing, the Patriots had about $20 million in salary cap room, according to NFLPA records. They had money to spend after losing left tackle Nate Solder to the Giants on Wednesday, and Clayborn would project to start across from Trey Flowers.
