Terrance Knighton nearing deal with Patriots

Today may be the day we see the New England Patriots sign free agent defensive tackle Terrance Knighton. According to Anthony Gulizia of the Washington Times, a source familiar with the situation said that Knighton left a meeting with the Washington Redskins on Wednesday without a deal, and that the 350-pound nose tackle is leaning toward the Patriots.

It is significant news that “Pot Roast” is still on the open market after meeting with his 2015 team, as the Redskins had originally told the veteran they would be moving on from him but changed their tune once the Patriots entered the sweepstakes.
