According to The Athletic's Dianna Russini, the New England Patriots were one of multiple teams that showed interest in All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons.
It's no surprise given the lack of a true No. 1 edge rusher in New England. The addition of an elite playmaker like Parsons would have sparked their defense in ways they haven't seen in years. So it made sense for them to at least call in and check on the situation.
The Indianapolis Colts, Carolina Panthers and Buffalo Bills did their due diligence as well.
