All quiet

You know it's been a slow start to free agency for the Patriots when you go to their website and see "Inside The Helmet: Ross Ventrone" on the home page.

I really don't want to get to know Ross Ventrone that well.

I want a wide receiver ... and a pass rusher. Oh, and someone who can play man coverage.

The Pats reportedly did sign a D lineman (Jonathan Fanene), but he's a backup from the Bengals. Enough said.
