.@RosenhausSports on @NFLNetwork: “We’re going to have to see what the market is. When you’re a free agent, it’s not always what you expect. It’s what the market is. Of course, my job as an agent is to always get the best contracts for my clients. That’s no different here."

We’ll have to wait and see if the Patriots are even interested in signing AB but I’m sure we’ll find out in a few days.
