Former Colts tight end Dallas Clark has been linked to multiple teams. The latest is the least likely.

Shalise Manza Young of the Boston Globe reports that Clark visited the Patriots on Tuesday.

Yes, the Patriots. Who have Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.

On Monday, Peter King of SI.com characterized the Chiefs as the clubhouse leaders for Clark’s services. It could be that Chiefs G.M. Scott Pioli’s former boss, Bill Belichick, simply decided that, if Pioli sees something in Clark, maybe there’s something there that could help the Pats.

Even though they don’t seem to need it.

Clark has missed 15 games over the past two seasons due to injury. In fact, he has only appeared in all 16 games only once in his career — the 2009 season, which also was his best season statistically, with 100 catches for 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns.
