The New England Patriots will host free agent defensive end Chris Long on Monday.
Per ESPN's Trey Wingo, the Patriots will also put Long through a workout, which isn't necessarily typical of free agent visits. The Patriots likely want to see what Long has left. Long -- who was cut by the St. Louis Rams -- is only 31 years-old, but he has just three sacks over his last 16 games. He'd likely be a situational pass rusher in Foxboro.
New England ranked 12th in Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points (NEP) per play in 2015. Long was a part of a St. Louis Rams' defense which ranked eighth in Adjusted Defensive NEP per play.
