Bill Belichick is quite familiar with free agent wideouts in the twilight of their careers. So it's no surprise he's tempering expectations for the Patriots' new acquisition, 37-year-old Reggie Wayne.
"I think he has a lot of versatility, obviously he has a lot of experience so we’ll have to see how it goes," he said via WEEI.com.
After eight 1,000-yard receiving performances in nine years, Wayne has looked a little more human of late, and New England seems very aware of that given the one-year deal they offered the veteran. But with Brandon Gibson on IR and no youngsters stepping up to the challenge, Wayne seems like a solid fit in a system that will likely get creative to get him the ball -- if he stays healthy.
