Randall Gay offered $1.3 million

[BradfordPatsFan]

This is, at worse, adds young, experienced depth to our secondary that was sorely missed in the playoffs last year. This is someone who is cheap money and who has come up big when called upon. Lastly this gives the Pats a core of three good, young cb's in Samuel, Gay, and Hobbs.

Hasn't he also played some safety at times?

As others have said, no brainer.

I glad that we tendered him. Now with that extra cash, he might be able to buy an "e" stick on his last name.

Wow, so you think that he was tendered high because Belichick wants him?

for someone who so often likes to make fun of other posters he is suddenly quiet.

2nd-round tender for Gay

"The New England Patriots’ first move of the day was to offer cornerback Randall Gay a $1.3-million tender. Gay, one of four restricted free agents the Pats had on their roster, has struggled with injuries over the last two seasons — he played the first three games of the year before being placed on season-ending injured reserve with a hamstring injury — but was a starter for New England in Super Bowl XXXVIII.

The tender means that another team can make a better offer to Gay, but if the Patriots do not match the deal within seven days, New England would receive a second-round draft pick as compensation."

Great news.

Good signing. Gay plays a little soft for my liking, allowing too much underneath stuff, but he's good at the deep coverage and does not get beat long. A good fit in the BB bend-but-don't-break scheme. Now let's hope he stays healthy.

Chris
