LB FA
Patriots signed LB James Anderson, formerly of the Bears, and waived WR Mark Harrison.
Anderson, 31 in September, led the Bears in tackles last season with 102 as a 16-game starter on the outside. He's his best as a coverage linebacker in nickel packages and should be on the field with LB Jamie Collins in passing situations for the Patriots. Harrison is a height-weight-speed specimen at 6-foot-3 and 231 pounds with 4.46 wheels. He should get a look somewhere this summer.
