I'd love to see what he wants as an extension. I'd gladly give them our two. Hell, I'd throw a conditional pick in next year if has a good season for us.

Remember.....this is the corner who put a lock on Moss first last year....so if Moss goes for the money instead of Brady, then it would an extremely good look to have Lito Sheppard on our roster and he's still young....26 years old....I'd say a 2nd rounder


P.S. - Ty Law is even on the verge of coming back to New England

primetime

I'd easily give up a 2nd rounder for Sheppard. He's one of the game's best corners and immediately makes the departure of Samuel irrelevant.

Sheppard is very cheap too :

11/6/2004: Signed a five-year, $25 million contract extension through 2011. The deal included a $9 million signing bonus.

2008: $2 million
2009: $3 million
2010: $3.7 million
2011: $4.25 million
2012: Free Agent. Cap charge: $3.45 million (2008).

At that money I'd flip flop #1 for him for sure; #7 to #19 + a cheap Sheppard. Of course, Sheppard probably wants a new deal and that could change things but as things stand . . .

Deus Irae

The Patriots have need of a player who can't cover without holding? Are they below the team quota or something?

Lito would be a great replacement for Samuel, but it all depends on how much $$$ he is seeking. I wouldn't mind seeing a secondary consisting of.....

1. Law
2. Sheppard
3. Richardson (yes, I think he will be a starter)
4. Hobbs
5. Merriweather
6. Harrison
7. Gay
8. Sanders

How good is Hobbs vs. Sheppard? There's your break-even point, if he is in fact available at marked-down, not-so-young-anymore rates. (And could the iggles ask for some coin to apply against that dead money Lito costs as part of the deal?)

By reputation at least, Sheppard seems like he'd be an upgrade over Hobbs (as might Gay.) And of course we have to replace Asante, if all our assumptions hold. We might end up with a downgrade in the secondary, but a downgrade to Sheppard/Gay or Sheppard/Hobbs might be preferable to a downgrade to Gay/Hobbs (just for example.)

I have to say, I had the impression that Sheppard is a pretty serviceable D-back.

He is more than serviceable. Some people would still be negative even if the Patriots had Deion Sanders, Dick Lane, and Darrell Green as our corners.
