It's been a quiet offseason for Terrance Knighton, but the free-agent defensive tackle finally is feeling a nibble on the open market.
It's the first known visit for "Pot Roast," who started 15 games for Washington last season and finished as the league's 27th-ranked interior lineman, per Pro Football Focus.
Rapoport noted that New England moved swiftly to line up a meeting with Knighton after watching tackle Nick Fairley, a player the Patriots had interest in, land with the Saints.
At 29, Knighton would give coach Bill Belichick a wide-bodied run-stopper who played well in that role for Washington a year ago. If the Redskins don't re-sign him, New England would make plenty of sense as a landing spot.
Here are other visits we're tracking Monday:
- The Cowboys are still looking for pass rushing help and are hosting former Lions defensive end Jason Jones, per Rapoport.
- The Dolphins' search for a veteran running back will continue Tuesday with a visit from Arian Foster, per Mr. RapSheet.
- A source told Around The NFL's Conor Orr that defensive end Kroy Biermann visited with the Bills on Monday.
