Links to the Best in AFC East Coverage, 3/12 Edition

New England Patriots

Who loves an in-depth statistical analysis more than me? Perhaps Steve Palazzolo of Pro Football Focus, who details areas where the Patriots offense must improve in 2012.

One way to fix that is to add a big threat at wide receiver, and the rumor mill has been buzzing about Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson. B/R Patriots featured columnist Eitan Katz gives his thoughts on why it could work.

Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston takes a look at some free agent fits at safety, a big position of need for New England headed into 2012.

Miami Dolphins

Reports are unclear as to whether the Dolphins are completely out of the hunt for Peyton Manning, but B/R featured columnist Wes O'Donnell thinks they should move on to someone else, like Packers quarterback Matt Flynn.

B/R Dolphins featured columnist Scott Altman has 12 free agents the Dolphins must target, including two quarterbacks, two wide receivers, three tight ends and two offensive linemen. So I guess they need some help on offense.

New York Jets

The big news of last week was the Jets handing Mark Sanchez a three-year extension, and B/R Jets featured columnist Chris De La Rosa gives his thoughts on what it means for the Jets.

Could Giants running back Brandon Jacobs really end up with Gang Green? B/R featured columnist Tim Daniels explores the possibility.

Buffalo Bills

A lot of personnel changes are taking place with the switch to a 4-3 front, and B/R contributor Josh Cembellin writes about some outside linebacker prospects the Bills should target in the draft.

In that regard, the Buffalo News writes that the Bills re-signed outside linebacker Kirk Morrison last week. The move offers some clarity for the team's defense in 2012.
