It's an old story, but I liked the comments about Lenon's consistency. He's a guy who does not make big mistakes. Really that is all I want to see out of a rotation ILB (in this rotation, barring injury,a guy like Lenon is not going to see more than 10-15% of the total snaps.
Agreed - mistake free football and a smart LB play is what BB demands - pLUS, the guy is supposed to be good at covering receivers out of the backfield - seems to me our LB pass coverage needs help.

Default Patriots sign ILB Paris Lenon [merged]

Linebacker Paris Lenon has agreed to contract terms to join the Patriots, his agent said.

"Paris is excited to finally be a part of a winning organization and eager to contribute in whatever way Coach Belichick and his staff see fit. Now, quite simply, he's eager to go to work," Jon Persch of Allegiant Management told the Globe this morning.

Lenon (6-2, 235) adds depth to the Patriots' inside linebacker corps. The unit was thinned after third-round draft choice Tyrone McKenzie tore his ACL in rookie minicamp, which will sideline him for the season. The Patriots had also waived 2008 sixth-round draft choice Bo Ruud earlier in the offseason.

Lenon enters his eighth NFL season and leaves the NFC North for the first time, as he's played for the Packers (2002-2005) and Lions (2006-2008). He was the leading tackler on last year's winless Lions squad, playing middle linebacker in a 4-3 alignment.

In New England, the 31-year-old Lenon will be making a switch to a 3-4 scheme. His performance on special teams also figures to be a factor in earning a roster spot.

The Patriots return Jerod Mayo (2nd year) and Tedy Bruschi (14th year) as starters at inside linebacker, with Gary Guyton (2nd year) the top backup. Antonio Appleby, Eric Alexander and Vinny Ciurciu rounded out the depth chart.

The agreement with Lenon likely takes the Patriots out of the mix for Pisa Tinoisamoa, a free agent who visited with the club Tuesday.

Lenon is a starting NFL MLB who led his team in tackles. He is apparently a character guy. He is transitioning from MLB to ILB and when he is on the field will be paired with Mayo. If he starts, he is backed up by Bruschi and Guyton.

I don't see any comparison.

Nice rumor.

The Pats do not need a top starter, and didn't compete for one at the beginning of free agency. They really need depth. This guy appears to be a decent option for a third or fourth ILB, and can likely play some special teams.

The question isn't is he better than Bart Scott or Tedy Bruschi or Gary Guyton, but is he better than Antonio Appleby or Eric Alexander. If he is better than one of those two, then he makes the team better. I've never noticed Paris Lenon, but I have watched Alexander play, and I'll take the devil I don't know.

They give him a grade of 64 which makes him an average starter.
I'll take an average starter opposite Mayo at ILB. Especially one who is known for intelligence, durability, and work ethic.

Wow, he played in all 16 games every year in the league, never missed a start since becoming the full-time stater his last year in Green Bay.

This helps ease my injury concerns about Tedy, my fear being that he would have to play too many snaps. Now he can be subbed often (or be the sub).
