Kelly hits FA with a $500K buyout.

Kelly is a solid CB. Good quickness but not a burner. He is a physical and tough. Plays well in zone coverage and has good reaction skills to break on ball to either pick it or make a tackle. Lacks top end speed and thus is better suited as a zone guy vs man-to-man. He has good hands and he is above average vs the run. Kelly is a solid starting CB but was injured some in 2006/2007. If the price is right and with Asante most likely gone I wouldn't mind seeing the Pats go after Kelly. Couple that with a trade for Lito Sheppard and we can possibly get two CB's for the price of signing Asante.
