He would be a more natural strong safety to complement McCourty's range, and a great guy for Tavon to learn from.
I'm really beginning to wonder if an elite corner is necessary to win a Super Bowl. Baltimore won this year without their best corner, the Giants won starting Aaron Ross and Corey Webster, Green Bay had some great corners in Tramon Williams and Charles Woodson (the exception), Pittsburgh won starting Ike Taylor and Bryant McFadden, and New Orleans won starting Jabari Greer (under-rated at the time) and Tracy Porter.
The last time we won a Super Bowl, due to injuries to Ty Law, we started Asante (who only started half the season) and Randall Gay.
I'm not saying I don't want a better secondary; we absolutely need one. But it doesn't necessarily have to rely on an elite corner. Several teams had great safety play, from the Giants with Antrel Rolle, Pittsburgh and Polamalu, the Ravens and Reed, and Darren Sharper had an incredible year for New Orleans.
The Patriots are hot on cornerbacks. Been told they've inquired about Derek Cox and Chris Gamble.

What signs, you mean all the probably agent manufactured reports getting "leaked" lately? As Reiss said well this morning:I reckon all signs point to New England, possibly, moving on from Aqib Talib.
New England Patriots Blog - ESPN BostonWhen it comes to the NFL’s “legal tampering period”, which began first thing Saturday morning and extends until the start of free agency Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, I read with caution any reports of a team’s legitimate interest in a player. Of course, any agent is going to pump up his client by saying multiple teams are interested, and throwing in the Patriots is often a nice way to generate some buzz (if Belichick is interested, maybe we should be too). If I had to make an educated guess of the way the Patriots are approaching this time, they’re using it to gather as much intelligence as possible on the marketplace, while keeping their own financial intentions concealed until Tuesday at 4 p.m.. It’s hard to imagine Belichick saying to an agent, “We’re willing to give your guy $8 million per season, so we’ll be in touch.”
He's tall, twenty-nine (soon to turn thirty) and probably will have motivation. And Gamble's from Massachusetts.
I'm surprised nobody has run with the obvious pun about taking a Gamble yet?
What about Greg Toler.. Young, inexpensive and on an upswing

Seems risky
those are the worst ratings I have ever seen, Quinton Jammer is a bum, how he rates as top rated is unbelievable
