Free agent WR Wayne taking physical with Pats

Near the end of the season past year , it was announced that Wayne had played with a torn triceps since Week 6, which would require an offseason surgery to fix .

The New England Patriots reportedly are showing interest in one of the NFL’s best receivers of the last decade and-a-half. Not only would he add depth to the receiving corps, but it’s the ultimate troll for the Patriots to throw at the Colts over this whole DeflateGate nonsense.

Bill Belichick did not make reference to Wayne being in town during his conference call on Sunday.

That’s high praise from a coach that is typically really reserved.

The New England Patriots are close to signing another big-name, high-production veteran who is past his prime but potentially still has something left in the tank.

The 36 year old Wayne has remained steadfast in his approach that he intends to play in the NFL this season. However, seeing him play for the Patriots and catch passes from Tom Brady of all people would be just about the worst case scenario for Colts fans. This could be the basis from where an offer comes, but it could also cause the team to go in a different direction.
