Here are the most interesting stories Friday morning in the AFC East: The Miami Dolphins hope to get lucky Friday with a coin flip at the NFL combine against the Carolina Panthers. Morning take: Miami will get either the No. 8 or No. 9 pick. It doesn't sound like much, but every bit helps in the offseason.
The Buffalo Bills are set to meet with pending free-agent receiver Steve Johnson Friday. Morning take: This is crunch time for Johnson and the Bills. Both sides have been negotiating on and off since the regular season. If progress isn't made at the combine, Johnson's chances of remaining a Bill look dim.
The New England Patriots won't tip their hand on another pending free-agent receiver: Wes Welker. Morning take: The Patriots aren't going to let Welker walk. So expect New England to hand him the franchise tag soon. We will have more on Welker later in the AFC East blog (hint, hint).
Morning take: It will be hard for Ryan to change his boastful ways, but I think he learned a valuable lesson this past season. There are ways to be confident without being brash. Tags:
