Links to the Best in AFC East Coverage, April 7 Edition

New England Patriots

Chris Carpenter was a bit part linebacker with his three previous teams, but could that change with the Patriots? Christopher Price of WEEI.com has thoughts on the Patriots' latest acquisition. 

B/R Patriots featured columnist Drew Bonifant has the five most exciting position battles to watch this preseason.

New York Jets

Hey, what do you know, Tebowmania continues to take center stage. He'll be taking center stage for an Easter Sunday sermon in Texas that's expected to draw around 30,000 people, but here B/R contributor Will Lomas gives his thoughts on why Tebow could be the starting quarterback for the Jets.

And Tebowmania is so big, in fact, that even a mani-pedi can draw headlines. Kristine Reese of Aerys Sports' The Green Room talks about the ridiculousness of that, as well as some other head-scratchers.

Buffalo Bills

The Bills could very well be a "sleeper team" in the AFC East and James Walker of ESPN's AFC East blog gives five solid reasons why. My thoughts: can a team really be a sleeper if everyone is picking them as a sleeper?

B/R Bills featured columnist Josh Cembellin points out that the Bills must find a way to get the ball into the hands of their two dynamic running backs, Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller.

Miami Dolphins

Peter King of Sports Illustrated gave an interview on the Football Nation podcast and talked about the Dolphins desperate quarterback situation, even going so far as to say there's a "real chance" the Dolphins move up to No. 3 to grab Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

And with all the slandering of Jeff Ireland and Stephen Ross that's going on in the media, I'm sure the two were happy to hear their newly acquired safety Tyrell Johnson come to their defense, according to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald.
