The Patriots announced the signing of CB Lewis Sanders today.

A bit from the team's press release:

Lewis Sanders, 29, is a veteran of eight NFL seasons with the Cleveland Browns (2000-2004), Houston Texans (2005-06) and Atlanta Falcons (2007). The 6-foot-1-inch, 210-pound cornerback has played in 87 career games with 25 starts and has recorded 172 career tackles (137 solo), one sack, five interceptions for 90 yards, 31 passes defensed, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries, while also totaling 51 special teams tackles.

Last season with Atlanta, Sanders played in 14 games with six starts after being signed by the Falcons as an unrestricted free agent on March 7, 2007. He recorded 32 tackles (28 solo) and two passes defensed before being placed on the reserve/injured list with a chest injury on Dec. 17, 2007. He was released by the Falcons on Feb. 15, 2008.

The team also officially announced the signing of S Tank Williams.
6'1", 210. Better than 5'9, right?

some height!! yay!!

In all seriousness, It really sucks that we lost that first round pick. We could have possibly picked up Gholston (or someone similar) AND a stud CB. Well, the draft is deep in CBs, so we should be able to pick up a decent one. But still....what could have been....

Well, he did have DeAngelo Hall and Chris Houstan ahead of him, and many people on this board love those two guys and want them on this team, so he can't be that bad...

Looks like we'll be going into draft day with JAGs filling up our CB spots. In all honesty, it wouldn't be the end of the world if we had JAGS filling up the CB spots for the season. We've won a superbowl that way before.

Training camp competition is going to be intense at the CB position.

Get as many experienced defensive backs as possible and let them

compete for roster spots. Also, draft a couple of cornerbacks and

develop them.

I'm gonna go on the record here and say that Lewis Sanders sucks. I've seen him play; he is bad. He is one player who definetly they are gonna see if Capers can turn his career around. But I expect him to be cut. I hope I'm wrong and he performs.
