NFL Rumors: Patriots targeted A.J. Green before WR joined Cardinals

The New England Patriots reportedly have added two notable wide receivers in free agency, and they nearly added a third Wednesday, it appears.

Veteran wide receiver A.J. Green is expected to sign a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals worth up to $8.5 million, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday.

According to John Gambadoro of 98.7 FM in Phoenix, the Cardinals outbid the Patriots to land Green.

Cardinals beat out - the free spending New England Patriots - for the services of AJ Green.

It's unclear how much New England was willing to offer Green, but the Patriots have been tied to the 32-year-old in trade rumors before.
