Mailbag: One free agent the Patriots should sign
If you have questions on the Patriots, NFL, or want to gripe about past answers, email cmason@masslive.com or tweet @bychrismason. Now let's get to this week's questions! Which veteran free agents should they sign? Taking a look at the schedule is also a reminder of the gauntlet of quarterbacks they'll face: Allen, Joe Burrow, Aaron Rodgers, Justin Herbert, C.J. Stroud, Caleb Williams, etc. They could certainly use another quality cornerback, and Gilmore is still just sitting on the free agent market. Earlier this offseason, a source told colleague Karen Guregian that Gilmore was open to returning to the Patriots.
