Editor's note: Jeff Howe will review each position on the Patriots' roster every day through Feb. 13. This edition highlights the specialists. It looks like the Patriots have compiled their young battery of specialists. Kicker Stephen Gostkowski has been a staple since 2006, and he's signed through 2014. Punter Zoltan Mesko has emerged as one of the league's better players at the position, which has been a welcomed change for New England after struggling to find consistency out of its punters for several seasons, and he is locked up through 2013. Ditto for long snapper Danny Aiken, who ended a...

Report: BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Patriots Have Had 'On and Off' Contract Talks With Free Agency Looming

Via NESN.com  |  February 14, 2012
BenJarvus Green-Ellis isn't the flashiest running back in the NFL, but he's one of the most reliable. So with Green-Ellis set to become an unrestricted free agent once NFL's free-agency period begins on March 13, there's some question as to what kind of deal "The Law Firm" will command, and whether the Patriots will pay the money it will take to retain him...

Brandon Lloyd to the New England Patriots Makes Perfect Sense

Via Patriots Plus  |  February 14, 2012
By the start of the 2012 NFL season, Tom Brady will be turning 35 years old with three years left on his contract and time running out to win his fourth Super Bowl.  In not only Brady’s best interest, but in the best interest of the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick and the team’s front office need to surround Brady with as much talent as they possibly can—and free...

Now’s not the time for a contract extension for Rob Gronkowski. Or is it?

Via The Rap Sheet  |  February 12, 2012
Rob Gronkowski’s rookie deal takes him through the 2013 season, so there’s need to worry about the tight end and free agency in the immediate future.  But it might be wise for the Patriots, as well as Gronk’s camp to get the ball rolling on discussions at some point this year. In the lead to my NFL Sunday notes today, I examined the benefits for both sides beingÂ...

Patriots to try and sign Mario Williams?

Via Pro Football Zone  |  February 13, 2012
Eric Edholm of Pro Football Weekly believes Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots could try and sign Houston Texans defensive end/linebacker Mario Williams once he becomes a free agent on March 13th. I honestly don’t see Belichick going after Williams, since he was still able to get a solid pass rush this season with Mark Anderson, Vince Wilfork and Andre Carter.  And...

Season Ending Patriots Media Thoughts

Via Boston Sports Media Watch  |  February 14, 2012
Much like the Patriots season, the performance of the media covering the team this season was marked by highs and lows. For the most part, the day-to-day coverage from the beat reporters was solid. It’s a veteran group, who understand how things work down in Foxborough, and have learned to make the best of what can be a challenging situation for the media. Beat reporters generally...

Is Randy Moss a Good Fit For Patriots?

Via Rant Sports  |  February 13, 2012
Former New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss announced Monday that he plans on returning to the NFL.  The seven-time pro bowler who played with the Patriots from 2007-2010 retired on August 1, 2011 after spending 2010 with the Patriots, Minnesota Vikings, and Tennessee Titans. The Patriots are in desperate need of a deep threat receiver and will likely be looking to free...
