Tuesday Patriots Notebook 5/1: Brady ‘Pleads the 5th’ on Appreciation Question; Were Patriots Targeting Mayfield?

Another interesting morning on this Tuesday and here’s a rundown of today’s news.

Was Mayfield on Patriots Radar? – While New England finished the draft without taking a top-tier quarterback, it sounds like there was at least a shot that they might have been in the mix for one depending on how things unfolded.

Peter King of MMQB pointed out on Monday that after the NFL Network’s Peter Schrager mentioned during the telecast that the Patriots spent time last Monday with Baker Mayfield (and Mike Reiss later reported that Josh McDaniels made a visit with him in his hometown last week), it appears that New England may have been willing to take a shot at trading up to get him if he dropped out of the top five.
