Free-agent Darrion Scott visits

Scott is a pretty versatile guy and was a key reserve prior to last yr for the Vikings. Scott was a regular in the Vikings' rotation keeping the DL fresh and when injuries hit he started at DE. He is solid vs the run and if you remember back that yr the Vikings were #1 in the league vs the run. Scott was instrumental in making that happen with his ability to hold the point and also squeeze the edge which in turn collapses running lanes if you can keep contain, which he does well. Scott is not only powerful but also displays proper leverage. His limitations are in generating a pass rush. He is strictly a power player and lacks finesse and doesn't have a quick first step to help him gain the advantage on OT's to get to the QB. So he has value as a two down DE and then can be moved inside to bull rush and collapse the pocket on 3rd down. Obviously with the Pats he will not be a regular but can start in a pinch if needed and someone this solid vs the run definitely has value. Reminds me a lot of Bobby Hamilton, who enjoyed nice success here early in BB's tenure. Would be a solid signing if the money is right.

Mike, St. PetersburgTimes (FL) reports Bucs are looking at KC's Jared Allen. He had 15 1/2 sacks last year. Bucs and Minnesota offering high draft picks. Any possibiity Pat's would consider their #7 straight up? This guy looks to be real stud.

Oh no! He had MARIJUANA in his possession! AHHHHHH!!!!!!

Give me a break. This would be a nice signing if the $$$ is right.
