When you're looking at big-name free agents, the most important factor for a general manager and coach to consider is whether or not they'll fit the mold of what the team is trying to accomplish. Fortunately for the New England Patriots, they may have found the perfect image of that in defensive tackle Milton Williams.

The Patriots were fortunate to outbid the Carolina Panthers - whom they throttled in Week 4 - for Williams' services in free agency. He was going to be one of the most coveted players over the offseason after his performance in last year's playoffs with the Philadelphia Eagles.
