The Facts:
Following up on a previous item. ... NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that the Patriots floated a three-year deal at Edelman, who led them in catches in 2013. Rapoport also was told by a source that New England would like an answer from Edelman before free agency kicks off at 4 p.m. ET. Reported by NFL.com

NFL Network's Albert Breer noted that he wouldn't be "surprised" if the Patriots have a backup plan lined up if another team swoops in to grab Edelman. Remember: Edelman filled a void that high-profile addition Danny Amendola could not, and he's going to generate interest if he chooses to bypass New England's contract offer. ... Stay tuned.
