00:00This offseason, you almost signed with the Carolina Panthers.

00:03In fact, Adam Schefter said it was done at one point in time.

00:06How did it all go down in free agency,

00:09and how close were you to actually being a Carolina Panther?

00:13No, it was definitely close.

00:15Like, everything, like, I talked to a couple of my vets going through free agency.

00:20They all told me it was going to happen fast.

00:22Like, it was going to happen so quick.

00:23Like, yeah, you know what happened.

00:26So, no, they wasn't lying.

00:27So, like, it came down, like I said, it came down to those two teams.

00:31They were calling back and forth, getting contract details and this and that

00:35and blah, blah.

00:36So, I'm just sitting there waiting to see, like, what's going to happen.

00:40And then, you know, then New England came in, gave me the offer

00:45and everything that I was looking for with Coach Braves and all that stuff.

00:50Carolina, they didn't want to give me certain details

00:53and the deals that my agent was trying to get for me.

00:56So, I mean, it really was a no-brainer choice for me.

00:59But, you know, it almost happened, but, you know what I'm saying,

01:02it didn't happen.

01:03And, you know, I'm a patriot now, and I'm trying to do everything in my power

01:06to get this organization back where it's used to being.
