The Facts: The Patriots may be waiting on Rams WR Brandon Lloyd, and the situation surrounding Steelers WR Mike Wallace hasn't quite developed yet. But they are set to bring another player at that position in for a visit, anyway. The Patriots are slated to host Gonzalez at Gillette Stadium, according to a source close to the situation. The visit is expected to happen this weekend, with Gonzalez likely coming into town Friday.
Diehards Line:The former Ohio State star was a first-round pick by Indianapolis in 2007, and he showed flashes of success with 57 catches in 2008. But injuries plagued the 6-foot, 193-pounder, and he never contributed much after that season. Gonzalez added just five catches for 67 yards over the past two seasons, and he was mostly a healthy scratch in 2011. This may not be Lloyd or Wallace, but Gonzalez seems like a low-price, low-risk option.
