Mike, how come the Pats aren considering signing Brian Westbrook?
— Nate M (Whitinsville, Mass.) A: Nate, I think part of it is health and age. The Patriots already have three backs over 30 and it would be a strain on the 53-man roster and 45-man game-day roster to fit a fourth when also factoring in needs on special teams. Q: Hi Mike. You frequently mention that Faulk, Fred Taylor and Sammy Morris are all in the last year of their deals. This is also year five of Laurence Maroney’s five-year rookie deal. This does not seem to be a significant factor in the Patriots’ team-building efforts this offseason. — Glenn (Los Angeles) A: Glenn, part of the reason that I have not mentioned Maroney in this regard is that in the current rules environment, he would still be a restricted free agent and under the Patriots’ control after his fifth season. Q: Mike, I have a lot of optimism about the club this coming year but there is an open concern that I have: Why did Belichick not address the RB position? I like our RBs but at their age(s) it’s hard to count on
