Interesting, stuff, pats1.
Most of my thoughts were already voiced by other posters, but one point is that McGowan only signed a 2 year deal (2009 and 2010).
If they can't get him to re-up, safety would be a concern again for 2011 and Sanders could end up back as a starter or third safety (if surpassed by Chung as we hope). An aging Springs (if still on the roster) would be another option.

Meriweather and McGowan, assuming he continues to surpass anyone's wildest dreams of his performance, seem to be set as part of the Patriots' safety rotation in the next 3-4 years. If all goes well, Chung will join that group (a la Meriweather in 2007-08) and Sanders will be phased out, even though he is a decent player who will find more playing time elsewhere.
