The Patriots are bringing veteran DE Chris Long to town for a visit and workout on Monday, according to ESPN's Trey Wingo. Long played the first eight years of his career with the Rams and would reportedly like to sign with a contender. The Patriots are deep at DE with Chandler Jones, Rob Ninkovich, Jabaal Sheard and 2015 draft picks Geneo Grissom (third round) and Trey Flowers (fourth round) returning. Jones, Ninkovich and Sheard all enter the final year of their contracts.
