Report: Four teams interested in Worrilow
Falcons linebacker Paul Worrilow, who’s set to become an unrestricted free agent on Thursday, has drawn interest from four teams, according to the Boston Herald.
Worrilow, 26, lost his middle linebacker job to rookie Deion Jones last season as the Falcons tried to get faster on defense. He helped Jones transition into the position and played on special teams.
“I know I can go and play good ball,” Worrilow said. “Whether if that’s here or somewhere else.”
The Patriots, Lions, Eagles and Colts have reportedly expressed interest in Worrilow. Teams can start negotiating with agents of prospective unrestricted free agents at noon on Tuesday.
