Why is this important? The Patriots were rumored to have an interest in bringing him on board at one point last year and back in 2012. Per ESPN last year:
Bryant
Bryant resisted a strong recruiting effort from Bill Belichick to re-sign with Seattle.
"The Patriots were interested and I definitely was listening. I thought it was a great opportunity for me, and the likelihood of me going there was high," Bryant said in October of 2012 after inking a five-year deal with a reported maximum value of $35 million, adding that family considerations were also part of keeping him in the Pacific Northwest.
The Patriots could well show interest in Bryant this year, so we'll keep an eye on this as it develops.
