Thanks, man. That was a hell of surprise last night as the Pats weren't exactly known for opening up their coffers like that but what the Broncos had done the day before, forced the Pats' hand ... probably all of Boston and half of NE was getting drunk till dawn
. Still, investments like this do come with their risks - one injury and it's all gone to shit, I guess
And today, just as I am hoping they would get tall, physical CB on the cheap on top of Revis,
it seems Browner is coming over for a visit - In your face, Ed
They might still draft a CB early, though, depending on the value that's available. For all anyone knows, Revis is just a 1-year rent of a player but does represent a good teaching/grooming "environment" for a rookie.
Hope they aren't anywhere near done in free agency yet 'cause they need some veteran help on O for Tommy and the pass-rush could use an extra-bit of help too.
I don't know what the 9ers cap situation is but they will likely get at least one vet CB - I am thinking one of Brown, DRC and maybe Chromartie, as he would be cheaper. And then a CB somewhere in the top 2 rounds. Point is, you guys don't need a top-notch, big money lock-down corner to make it work, while the Pats needed someone like Revis to solidify that entire secondary.
P.S. Rex Ryan has a wire brush to scrub off that nasty Sanchez tattoo and he calls it "Derrelle"
