Links to the Best in AFC East Free Agency Coverage, 3/16 Edition

New England Patriots

ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss has some thoughts on the Patriots signing former Chargers safety Steve Gregory, and says that while it's a small move, it provides the Patriots much-needed depth at a thin position.

The Patriots have taken a few dips in the free agency pool, but when are they going to make their big splash? B/R Patriots featured columnist Oliver Thomas gives his thoughts on that.

New York Jets

B/R Jets featured columnist RC Cos has thoughts on the Jets' free agency plan, and says that it's failing miserably in his opinion. An interesting take on the recent events around the Jets.

Jenny Vrentas of the Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger writes that the rift between Mark Sanchez and Santonio Holmes is "history."

Miami Dolphins

B/R featured columnist Gary Davenport writes that the Dolphins are fading fast in the race for Peyton Manning, and may be turning their attention to Matt Flynn.

And according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the Dolphins may be turning their attention to Flynn. As long as the Dolphins are convinced he's their guy, and aren't just settling for No. 2, I can't say I blame them.

Buffalo Bills

Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News writes that former Bills quarterback Jim Kelly was a big part of the recruitment process for Mario Williams, and Bucky Gleason writes that the recruitment may have changed the league-wide perception of the Bills.

The Bills might be one-and-done in free agency after handing Williams the biggest contract for a defenseman in NFL history, but they might want to consider adding another Mario: Manningham. B/R featured columnist Mike Chiari has his thoughts.
