Quick hits

* Free-agent receiver Kevin Johnson speaks with the Trenton Times about his status. The piece mentioned that the Patriots had been in contact with him. But Johnson, who ruptured his Achilles tendon in October, doesn't sound as if he's healthy enough to compete in a training camp setting. The Patriots are a bit thin on experience at receiver, and there is also uncertainty regarding Deion Branch contract situation. So it's not a surprise that the Patriots might have contacted Johnson.

* One Patriots fan asked via email how NFL players are paid during training camp. This was a question answered at the end of a recent mailbag on Boston.com, so we'll link to it here.
