I would rather take my chances in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Landry is an injury risk and probably will want more money than the New England Patriots are willing to spend.

I don't have a clue what the LOLphins are up to in unrestricted free agency.

How do you even tackle with a body like that? Guys must just bounce off his chest while he clutches at them with his fat arms.

Fair enough, but as training camp, special teams, veteran depth there's nothing to lose bringing him in. I doubt they'd be paying him a lot.

Gregory has a great feel for the game....always seems to be around the ball. He shows excellent route recognition and can read the quarterback's eyes to get a jump on the ball. He lacks the size and power to be a physical force on run support yet consistently makes plays near the line of scrimmage......plays with attitude and aggressiveness.

We have a need for FS....Gregory played out of position @ SS last 2 yrs with Weddle at FS. Seems to fit Pats need and also can cover slot in sub packages. At pro day coming out had 6.61 3-cone so he can move his hips and not a stiff athlete. Was a CB in college. As a plus he is also a solid ST player. I don't see the downside to signing this kid. I don't get why anyone would have an issue, seems like a good football player.

I hope that this signing doesn't exclude other acquisition at the position!
