Patriots Closing In On A Deal With Free Agent TE Alge Crumpler

TE Alge Crumpler may have a new home soon, and according to ESPN's Mike Reiss, it may be in New England.

"We are closing in on a deal," Crumpler's agent, James "Butch" Williams, said Friday morning.

Williams added that no contract has been signed at this time, which means nothing is official. The Boston Globe and Boston Herald reported an agreement had been reached.

The Patriots need for a tight end came when they released Chris Baker and allowed Benjamin Watson to sign a deal with the Browns.

They have two tight ends on the roster that have no NFL experience.

Crumpler, 32, used to be one of the league's better pass-catches but age has caught up to him. He's still a solid blocker though.
