Default Re: Pats sign safety Brandon McGowan (2 Year Deal).

He has had a lot of injuries, in '07 when healthy he had 50 tackles, couple of interceptions, 3 Passes defensed..

Keep contending that this team will not be on the bottom in Red Zone DEFENSE this year...

Makes sense to bring in some more competition. Right now we've got Meriweather, Sanders, Chung, and maybe Spann? as our top four safeties. We bring in an UDFA, plus this guy, see if they can beat out Spann for that fourth spot. If not, oh well.

Plus Springs, Tank and maybe even Harrison

Seems were quite well loaded there TBH but it looks a good pick up if he's healthy

Wow, don't know why I forgot Tank... I'm not convinced Rodney is coming back though. I hope so for sentiments sake, but I just can't see it happening.

With the numbers there now I can't see it, esp after both McGowan and Sanders signing plus year deals

Not at all. Kinda depends on the numbers and if any is guarnteed.

The absolute best deal for a team is to sign the player to a 4 year deal at league min.

If he gets cut at camp the cost to the team is what ever needs to be paid as part of camp compensation. If he turns out to be great the team has his rights for 4 years for peanuts.

With a UDFA project that is more likely to make contribution year 2 instead of year 1, you don't want to have him taking up a roster or PS space for a year and then sign elsewhere the following year.

Nice to see a regional player make the team! Go Black Bears!

Alas, this spells the end for Rodney. Pity!
