It looks like the New England Patriots have divided their intentions for NFL free agency into two plans.
Plan A sounds like a home run. It involves the Patriots going after Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley, Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward and Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin, per the Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan and Doug Kyed.
But the Patriots signing all those players feels far-fetched. So, they have a back-up plan in place.
“If the Patriots whiff on their top targets — a group that consists of mid-level veterans and top-of-the-market talents — they will pivot to Plans B, C and, if necessary D, at select positions,” the Herald wrote.
