Interesting.. Wonder why he was cut by Detroit? Injury settlement?

edit: It turns out that Fuller DID receive an injury settlement from Detroit on 12/6.

Glad the Pats signed him since he IS a safety..

The Seahawks grabbed Philip Adams today, too.

No kidding. Is this the creation of his agent?

It seems either:
A) Chung's injury is going to keep him out much longer (the rest of the year?) and we need a safety that is actually a safety (and not named Brown).
B) This guy just became available (healthy enough?) in the last day or two and this is a good little pickup for a team in need.

One thing you can say for the Patriot's safety situation, what a rare and wide open opportunity for a fringe player to show he has what it takes to be a starter in the NFL. HE certainly has shown he has some ability to play, now let's hope he has got another level in him and he just needs the right coach/situation for it to come out.

He certainly seems worth a tryout. If he's healthy, he will take reps away from Brown and Slater. However, it is possible that this signing is about picking up a player for next year when he is fully recovered from his injuries.

So, help me out here..

That gives us the following at the safety position going into the playoffs (or 2 weeks away):

1.Chung
2.Ihedigbo
3.Brown
4.Slater
5.Fuller
6.Ventrone

7.and possibly Sterling Moore coming up from the practice squad in case of emergency

So that should be able to cross off the worst 3, and leave us with a safety position of 4 (counting Moore on the PS)

BEST 4:

1.Chung
2.Ihedigbo
3.Hmmmm? I'm ashamed to say it, but I suppose it'd be S.Brown
4.Hmmmm? Possibly Fuller, if he is up to the task and can learn quickly

That would leave off the following:

WORST 3:

1.Slater
2.Ventrone
3.Sterling Moore, if you choose to count him

Does anyone see these lists differently, or have an opinion on what the "top 4" safeties would be heading into the postseason? Like I said, I hate to put Brown on the list, but it appears as though Belichick would take him over Slater, Ventrone, and S.Moore

I thought Moore played decently, when he wasn't knocking teammates out for multiple games.

...by the way, what is it with our Safeties tackling DMC?
