The Facts:
Tom Brady winging passes to Wallace: Impossible to imagine? Maybe not. Armando Salguero of The Miami Herald cited an agent to report that the New England Patriots "have some interest" in the free-agent wide receiver.

We'll see about that. ... As Salguero suggested, it's not implausible that the Patriots would put feelers out on Wallace. Tom Brady's contract extension generated cap space, and Wes Welker's future with the team is uncertain. On top of that, Brandon Lloyd might be facing his release after a disappointing season. New England has two of the NFL's most dynamic pass-catching tight ends in Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, but the team lacks what Randy Moss once gave the offense. Nobody on the roster can take the top off a defense, something Brady made the most of when Moss was in town. Wallace is an incomplete wideout -- he's not going to work the entire field, he's frustrating in that sense -- but he would give New England a wild new dimension. That said, don't be surprised if the Patriots' real interest in Wallace is doing what they can to drive up his price tag to make it more difficult for their divisional rival, Miami, to land him.
