The 2012 NFL schedule releases tonight, and while we wait for 7 p.m. ET and the ensuing three-hour tour on ESPN, here's some news and draft coverage from around the AFC East, with more of both to come as we count down the hours.
New England Patriots
Getting back to the Super Bowl will be tough, but B/R Patriots featured columnist Marc Freshman has 10 tips for the Patriots along the way. The list is great because it doesn't say anything about adding a pass rusher or a deep threat.
Although the issue is taken care of at least for 2012, one thing they may have to do sooner or later is get a contract done for wide receiver Wes Welker. He was absent from the start of the team's voluntary workouts, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston.
New York Jets
Joe Caporoso of the Turn On The Jets blog writes that the OTAs should be a perfect time for new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano to show what he's made of and maximize the talent available to him.
New York fans booed Tim Tebow when the MetLife messiah made his first public appearance at a Yankee game, and B/R NFL lead blogger Aaron Nagler writes that more booing should be expected if he doesn't play well on the field.
Miami Dolphins
Earlier this morning, it was announced that the Miami Dolphins and Legedu Naanee had reached an agreement on a one-year deal. Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post writes that he should compete for time as a No. 3 or 4 option in the offense.
Much is being made of what the Dolphins could and should do with their first-round pick, but B/R contributor Robert Malone points out that the Dolphins have found plenty of talent in the third round, and they could do so again.
Buffalo Bills
The Bills have already made improvements on defense this offseason, but Chris Brown of BuffaloBills.com writes that they may not be done, having hosted three defensive prospects recently: Boise State defensive end Shea McClellin, Alabama safety Mark Barron and Central Florida cornerback Josh Robinson.
B/R contributor Brian Filler also has a look at five first-round prospects the Bills should highly consider with the 10th overall pick.
