Downing-USA TODAY SportsWith the NFL’s free agency compensation deadline behind us, teams can now start adding players from the open market without having to worry about possibly losing 2020 draft capital. The New England Patriots have already started: they will reportedly sign veteran Jared Veldheer to a one-year contract as early as today to add another body to their offensive tackle position.Veldheer is the first free agent signed by the Patriots who would have qualified to impact the compensatory draft picks formula — but he may not be the last considering that there is still plenty of talent available. With that in mind, let’s take a look at five players who New England should still have on its radar as it looks to bolster the overall depth of the roster. Keep in mind that we are not talking about starting potential at this point in the offseason, but more about training camp competition and rotational players.DT Allen BaileyBailey, who visited New England in mid-March, would give the Patriots another big body on their interior defensive line. Playing primarily in 3-technique and 5-technique alignments in Kansas City, he would bring experience and versatility against both the run and the pass to the table. In 2018, for example, Bailey was an integral part of the Chiefs’ league-leading pass rush: playing 72.1% of the club’s defensive snaps, the 30-year-old registered 6.0 sacks — production New England rarely has seen from a defensive tackle.WR Dontrelle InmanDespite a first-round draft pick being invested in N’Keal Harry, the Patriots’ depth at wide receiver behind the rookie and Julian Edelman remains a work in progress. Enter Dontrelle Inman, who is coming off a solid season with the Indianapolis Colts: appearing in nine games, he caught 28 passes for 304 yards and 3 touchdowns — not necessarily spectacular numbers, but solid for a rotational third/fourth option. Inman might be little more at this point in his career, but bringing him in as a depth player to compete for a roster spot over the summer would not be a mistake.DT Corey LiugetWhile the Patriots have three roster locks at the position — Lawrence Guy, Mike Pennel http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-devin-mccourty-jersey , Adam Butler — there is still room on the defensive tackle depth chart. Bailey is probably the first choice at this point given his upside against the pass, but Liuget could be a solid, cost-effective addition as well. Still stout against the run, the 29-year-old could help reduce the workload of free agency addition Mike Pennel and offer New England another versatile defender.WR Rishard MatthewsComing off a disappointing season in which he caught only five passes in between stints with the Tennessee Titans and New York Jets, Matthews has the experience and short-area quickness to still be a productive if limited role player in the NFL. Ideally, he would serve as a third/fourth/fifth receiving option in New England and a challenger to the likes of Phillip Dorsett and Demaryius Thomas as a Z-receiver. If nothing else, the 29-year-old would be another throw-him-on-the-wall-and-see-if-he-sticks wide receiver.TE Benjamin WatsonWhile Watson stepped away from the game after the 2018 season, he still would have impacted the compensation formula if signed by a team other than the New Orleans Saints until yesterday. With this no longer a factor, New England could opt to lure the 38-year-old out of retirement to add another player to the post-Rob Gronkowski tight end group — something that is not as crazy as it sounds: according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the former Patriots first-round pick is open to returning if he gets the right offer. A call by Bill Belichick could be just that. CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Mixon scored on a 4-yard run and dashed toward the stands in celebration of Cincinnati’s go-ahead touchdown. On the Steelers sideline, Ben Roethlisberger looked at the clock, saw there was 1:18 left, and told his linemen not to fret.“They gave us too much time,” Big Ben said confidently.Somehow, the Steelers never run out of time at Paul Brown Stadium.Antonio Brown turned a short catch into a 31-yard touchdown with 10 seconds left Sunday, sending the Steelers to a 28-21 victory over the Bengals. They’ve now won seven straight against Cincinnati, a streak that includes highly improbable — and totally predictable — wins.The Steelers (3-2-1) sure saw it coming.“On the sideline before I went out Kevin Faulk Jersey , I told the guys, ‘This is what legacies are made of for all of us. Let’s go take care of business,'” Roethlisberger said.On the decisive play, Roethlisberger saw the Bengals (4-2) were set for an all-out blitz with no safeties guarding the end zone. He knew it would be a touchdown if he got the ball quickly to Brown, who caught it in stride, cut behind Justin Hunter’s block and ran untouched to the end zone.“We’ve been in that situation a lot, and I knew we were going to do it,” said Brown, who had five catches for 105 yards.During their seven-game winning streak, the Steelers have pulled them out at Paul Brown Stadium with 14 seconds, no seconds, and 10 seconds to go.They rallied to win a first-round playoff game in 2015 — aided by Vontaze Burfict hitting Brown in the head for a costly penalty — on Chris Boswell’s field goal with 14 seconds left. Last December, they overcame a 17-point deficit and won on Boswell’s field goal as time ran out.Now, this stunner.“We’re better than them,” Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick insisted. “They’re not better than us.”The statistics say otherwise. The Steelers have won 10 of 11 and 15 of 18 in the lopsided series.Some takeaways from Paul Brown Stadium:IT’S A RACEThe Bengals got an early cushion in the division by knocking off the Ravens and opening 4-1, their best start since they won the division in 2015. The Steelers got off to a ragged start at 1-2-1, but back-to-back wins over the Falcons and Bengals have evened up the division. The Bengals finish the season at Heinz Field.SHOCKING NUMBERSThe Steelers are 16-2 at Paul Brown Stadium during Marvin Lewis’ 16 seasons as the Bengals’ head coach Womens Adrian Clayborn Jersey , including playoff victories in 2005 and 2015. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is 20-5 against the Bengals. Andy Dalton is 3-12 against the Steelers, missing that 2015 playoff meltdown with a broken thumb.CONNER’S HISTORYJames Conner ran for 111 yards and a pair of touchdowns, his second straight 100-yard game. Conner joined Hall of Famers Franco Harris (1976) and Jerome Bettis (2004) as the only Steelers to run for seven touchdowns in the first six games of a season, excelling as Le’Veon Bell’s replacement. Bell reportedly will end his holdout this week during Pittsburgh’s bye.“What a great game,” Roethlisberger said. “Now I know it’s his last game for us, so we’re glad he did well in his last one.”Roethlisberger laughed, clarifying that he was going entirely off media reports and speculation about what happens when Bell returns.BLITZBURGHAfter getting shredded in September, the Steelers’ defense has come around in the last two games. It got six sacks in a 41-17 win over the Falcons and sacked Dalton three times. Pittsburgh limited the Bengals to 123 yards in the second half.BURFICT REPRISEIn his second game back from his latest NFL suspension, Burfict was at the center of the riled-up rivalry. He exchanged words with Roethlisberger 3 minutes into the game. A teammate pushed him away from Conner to help the linebacker avoid a penalty after a touchdown run. In the third quarter, Burfict hit Brown in the head as he was being tackled, but avoided a penalty. The NFL will review the play. In the locker room after the game, Burfict yelled at a reporter who asked another Bengals player about the hit on Brown.“A nasty hit,” Brown said.
