Patriots rumors: New England hosting Adrian Wilson, John Abraham

The New England Patriots are hosting a pair of defensive veterans today, former Arizona Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson and former Atlanta Falcons defensive end John Abraham, according to Albert Breer of NFL.com.


Wilson is a five-time Pro Bowl selection who spent 12 seasons with the Cardinals. While he was a former NFL star at his position, the 33-year-old’s playing time and role diminished last season. For this reason, Arizona elected to cut the veteran.

Abraham was also cut by his team, the Falcons. Even at 35, the defensive end was able to record 10 sacks last season. Still, you have to wonder how much he has left in the tank. Abraham doesn’t figure to be expensive, as he’s likely best suited for a reserve role as a pass rush specialist.

Wilson and Abraham would seem to fit the mold of veteran players on the tail-end of their careers that coach Bill Belichick usually targets.
