Chung headed to market?

By Tim Kavanagh

The New England Patriots have decisions to make on 20 free agents (18 unrestricted, 2 restricted), and the speculation on WR Wes Welker, CB Aqib Talib and RT Sebastian Vollmer is already in full swing. But what about former second-round pick Patrick Chung?

In the opinion of ESPNBoston.com scribe Mike Reiss, "the odds are against Chung returning," though it remains a possibility to some degree. Converted CB Devin McCourty slid over to safety in 2012, and this could continue on into 2013, which would make re-signing Chung less of a likelihood.
