Randall Gay update
Cornerback Randall Gay has not been signed to an offer sheet by another NFL club and thus will remain with the New England Patriots.
Today marks the deadline for restricted free agents to sign with other clubs, and the only player this affected on the Patriots was Gay. He had previously visited with the New York Jets in free agency, but an agreement could not be reached for Gay to join the Jets.
Gay has not officially signed his one-year, $1.3 million tender with the Patriots, but has plans to do so.

Tagging Asante, keeping Gay and signing Tory an and Chad solidifies the CB corps.
Signing Tory frees Chad for essentially full time duty at Safety adding to depth there.
I still think its is highly significant that BB has lost two LBs and signed only one, on a LB corps that had zero depth to start with. He MUST be intending to stock the LB depth with LB candidates. In the frequent discussion of the the conversion of DEs to OLBs being problematic and hard to predict, the point should be made that the OLB depth is fine. Colvin AD Vrabel, an Pierre are four OLBs. In a pinch Seau or even Tedy have been OLBs too.
The question is ILB and specifically the separate positions of WILB and SILB. At SILB we have an out of position Vrabel and AD and perhaps Seau. At WILB we have Tedy. So I see a need for a at least one but really two WILBs. And a need for one SILB.
Willis, Pos, Beason and Zak are WILB candidates. Harris and Bradley are SILB candidates.
keeping Gay around couldn't hurt right?
