Here are the most interesting stories Wednesday in the AFC East: Morning take: Te'o is an interesting prospect. Buffalo needs playmaking linebackers. But Te'o looked overwhelmed against Alabama and has some questions that he needs to answer at this week's combine.
Morning take: That is a lot of money for two players. But the Jets gained two starters who led the team to back-to-back AFC title games. It was time for both sides to move on.
  • How far will the New England Patriots go for free-agent right tackle Sebastian Vollmer?
Morning take: This will be an interesting negotiation. Vollmer is a good player but he often plays injured. Yet, Vollmer would get plenty of interest if he hits the open market.
  • Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill must improve on third down.
Morning take: Some of this is due to inexperience and some is due to a lack of a quality supporting cast. Tannehill will be fine next season when he gets more reps with better skill players around him.
