Another MLB hitting free agency. Also ILB Christian Kirksey also hitting FA after being released by the Browns. Both of these could interest GB, while at the same Blake Martinez may not be quite so in demand if the FA has a multitude of options at ILB.
Had a good chat with #Patriots LB Kyle Van Noy on hitting free agency for the first time, the Tom Brady factor and why he compares to Tyrann Mathieu https://t.co/B8kUjJ5a5k

“I’ll be frank, I don’t see myself waiting around. I’m pretty sure those (other free agents) aren’t going to wait around either. They’re really good at their craft. They’re at the top of the league at their position so it’ll be interesting.”
Van Noy played near a Pro Bowl level in 2019, and with two Super Bowl rings at 28 years old, he’s hitting free agency at the right time. An unconventional linebacker/defensive end, his versatility could aid him on the open market. And he told Mike Garafolo the Patriots haven’t been in touch yet, so he’ll likely get his chance to test it.
