Phil Perry of CSNNE.com believes that if both free agents are healthy, Dustin Keller would be a better tight end option for the Patriots than Jermichael Finley.

"Keller has put together the same kind of numbers as Finley over the course of his career while working with less talented quarterbacks, and Keller's approach seems to be more by-the-book than that of Finley, who has made headlines in the past for being disgruntled with his role in Green Bay's high-powered offense," writes Perry.

Sid Saraf](http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/photos/here-s-a-guarantee-locks-for-the-pro-football-hall-of-fame-061114) of FOX Sports calls both Tom Brady and Bill Belichick locks for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

"Hey, remember how Tom Brady has all those Super Bowl appearances and victories? All those passing records? Who do you think helped orchestrate all that? That's right, Belichick," writes Saraf.

Not that you can blame him: dude was drafted by the Expos in the 18th round of the 1995 draft to play catcher," notes Brinson. "He's not supposed to be speedy. But he might've had a future in baseball, as his bat speed and power potential would've made him as high as a fifth-round pick if not for football at the University of Michigan. Brady probably made the right choice." READ MORE>>

David Steele](http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2014-06-09/nfl-coach-rankings-2014-bill-belichick-carroll-coughlin-tomlin-allen) of Sporting News ranks Bill Belichick as the best coach in the NFL.

"It's going to be a long time before any coach is able to dislodge him from the top, even if he never wins another Super Bowl," writes Steele. "What makes him special, heading into Year 15 in New England: You can hardly remember the last time the Patriots began a season without being one of the favorites to win it all. Tom Brady or not, that's indescribably hard to do." READ MORE>>
