I wonder if they sign Fanane, Gregory, Landry, Lloyd, and then loaded up on defense in the draft...
...that'd be pretty sweet.
That's a given considering there are five months left in the offseason. They'll have opportunities to add more DBs and I'm sure they will.
Gregory's a solid nickel safety. Clear upgrade over Ihedigbo/Brown. The deal is a little rich, but everyone on the market's been getting overpaid.
Gregory is one of the better DBs in a weak market. Either you pay him or you settle for what you have.
Hey Pats Fans,
Gregory is a smart player and a hard worker but don't confuse this pickup with the last SD safety you guys grabbed (#37) - I would expect though that BB will have a role for him and he'll probably end up being more productive than he was in SD. He's a little too slow and undersized to be a game-changer but I doubt that's the intent.

That's a lot of money to pay a backup safety
Cheap again in FA, then trade back in the draft leaving talent still on the board. I like it!!
I would agree with you on this. I think you might look into Trevor Scott. Was hurt much of 2010 and still recovering on 2011. His best game is OLB at 6'5" and 255lbs. How about a 4.54 40, 32 reps of 225 and a 6.84 3 cone. He might be your sleeper. 12 sacks 2008-2009. Can rush the QB. I thought they go get him two years ago and he got a knee.

Other than "In BB We Trust", is there any evidence this guy is better than any of our safeties last year? $2-3 million/year seems like an awful lot of money for a guy that does not seem to have been a playmaker at any point in his college and pro career. 29 yrs old seems a little late to hope he can turn into something. He's been a JAG his entire career, so I can only assume that's what we'll get from him this season. He doesn't make any plays, but I'm sure he's "coachable, smart, hard working, loves football, insert any other BB adjective here".

It just may be the case of how poor the free safety position is overall in the NFL today.Other than "In BB We Trust", is there any evidence this guy is better than any of our safeties last year? $2-3 million/year seems like an awful lot of money for a guy that does not seem to have been a playmaker at any point in his college and pro career. 29 yrs old seems a little late to hope he can turn into something.

Me too. Belichick has shown many times that it works out very well.
This move adds some depth but does not answer the problem at safety.
It's seems that's how they do things around here. It's oh so very frustrating.Other than "In BB We Trust", is there any evidence this guy is better than any of our safeties last year? $2-3 million/year seems like an awful lot of money for a guy that does not seem to have been a playmaker at any point in his college and pro career. 29 yrs old seems a little late to hope he can turn into something.
