Second, Anthony Gonzalez if signed, will be a veteran minimum guy who isn't guaranteed to the final 53 man roster. He is a guy the Pats might take a chance on to bring to camp to see if he has anything left, but not assured of a roster spot.
I just posted this in another thread:
As for Landry, if the Pats can get him cheap, it is a good signing. The guy is a stud when he is on the field. He just can't stay on the field, but that could change.
I agree he can play, but then again so can Bob Sanders.
Gonzalez, Landry, and Amendola? Sounds like a Law office.
That's why I said if the Pats can get him cheap. On a cheap deal, he is worth the risk. A medium to big deal, no way.
That attitude is nutz... what if he craps out then you ahve spend all offseason to get him ready and hold a roster spot which is not a waste and looking for a street FA as he is injured.
Gonza is even more crazy !!! take wes 3 rd production and divide by 10 nd whola you have gonza.
I didn't say don't try to upgrade the position even with him added. Landry is a Pro Bowl quality SS. If the Pats can get him cheap because of injury concerns, this is yet another low risk, high reward type of player who could be the next Rodney Harrison in this defense. Say the Pats can get him for two years at $3 million a year like the Redskins just paid for Meriweather, the Pats would be stupid not to jump at that unless their doctors say his Achilles tendon is torn to crap. A healthy Landry is a top safety in the league.

Landry is a SS or he is big enough to play LB in some packages. he is injured and that too a leg injury which he is trying to heal holistically. I do not understand why you want to sign him to play patrick chung poistion. In nickel and dime they both cannot be in the field to support the pass so you have to take 1 of them out.
so what is the use of a injured pat chung type player?. he cannot cover anyone and is a pure in the box player. He is even slower than chung.when teams go 3 or 4th receiver or put a TE who can run in the field he will be toast.
what we need a 190 LB FS who can fly!! this is a big dude who is slow....exact opposite.
Third, I said only to bring him in on the cheap. If the Pats get him for say $2-3 million a year, that doesn't preclude them from getting a safety like Reggie Nelson or someone else.
What is nuts is ruling out a FA because they have been injured a couple of times in their career. that rules almost every NFL veteran. Why Landry started 47 of his first 48 games. He has missed half of the last two seasons. At that rate, if you sign him to a 3 year deal, he will start every game in the first two seasons and miss half of the 3rd season. That's probably at or better than NFL average. You have to have a doctor check out the achilles. If he says there is not signficant lasting damage, you would be a fool not to consider him.
He is a SS a bigger SS , why not sign idehebo to pack chung cheaper. then get a FS . currently we have sergio brown as the FS. if we can draft 1 and get a FA we will be good as we can play both in 3rd down package.
its not a question of not signing but he is saying he wants to heal his leg holistically !. I have no clue what that means.
