INDIANAPOLIS – From numerous conversations with league sources this week at the NFL combine, here’s everything we’ve uncovered involving the Patriots.



1. Yes, there is a real chance Tom Brady signs elsewhere in free agency, but that point deserves context. Other teams – the Titans and Chargers are believed to be among them, and there’s rumored interest from the Raiders – have shown Brady’s camp a ton of interest this week. And with interest comes money. Meanwhile, the Patriots haven’t had any talks of substance with Brady about a new deal, and it’s unclear when those negotiations will even commence.



So while there’s been some hysteria over the possibility of an impending departure, put yourself in Brady’s position for a moment. If other companies offered you a ton of money and your boss hasn’t yet discussed your salary, wouldn’t you also start to think you’d soon be working elsewhere?
