Patriots Open to Signing Christian Wilkins

FOXBORO, MA. — The Patriots might not be done adding to their defensive line.

Ahead of Friday's training camp practice, head coach Mike Vrabel discussed the possibility of adding recently-released defensive tackle Christian Wilkins in New England.

“This is pretty new,” Vrabel said about Wilkins being available. “I don’t have all the information on where Christian is. I know christian. I recruited him when he was up here in the area in Connecticut and going to high school. I’m sure we will have a conversation about it.”

Wilkins is a Springfield, Massachusetts, native and played youth football in-state before heading to Framingham High School and Connecticut's Suffield Academy.
