The Patriots on Wednesday reached a deal with free-agent LB Jamie Collins. That report came immediately after news of New England trading CB Stephon Gilmore to the Panthers, so the 2 sides clearly had already worked out the veteran's return. We'll see just how much playing time awaits Collins in a crowded LB corps. And we'll wait to see that before sticking him into IDP lineups. The secondary, meanwhile, can continue with players in their existing roles now that no Gilmore return from the PUP looms.
