The New England Patriots don't appear interested in one of the high-profile quarterbacks available, but they are apparently still looking for help at the position.
According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, the team "sniffed around a little" on former Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen.
Allen was traded to the Washington Redskins on Monday in exchange for a fifth-round pick.
The former undrafted free agent took over for an injured Cam Newton early last season and appeared in 13 games, starting 12.
