FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:
1. White's analysis: Retired Patriots running back James White is considering going into sports media in his post-playing career, and he is already exploring his options.
"It feels natural. I'm used to talking in front of people, and I think that would be the smoothest transition for me," he said. "Doing a job where football is still a part of it would be really cool, because the game has been a part of my life for 25 years."
White was a guest analyst for part of the Patriots' preseason game against the Panthers on Friday night, which he said was an "awesome" experience.
