The New England Patriots have more needs than you can count heading into the NFL offseason, and while their most glaring holes are offensively, they could definitely stand to improve their defense, too.
The Patriots have more cap room than any other team in the league, so they can certainly blow some cash on multiple positions, and they may already be targeting a major upgrade at linebacker.
Doug Kyed and Andrew Callahan of The Boston Herald have reported that New England may be prepared to make a run at New York Jets breakout star Jamien Sherwood in free agency.
