Now we’re talking! Patriots sign S Adrian Phillips

[Joey007]

Now this is a good move.

[catent]

I like it!

We could use some young blood, size and physicality at the safety position.

He’s a pro bowler because of his ST performance but still has the potential to contribute defensively.

 

[borisman]

Can do stuff Chung can (or at least used to be able). Younger version.

 

[DaBruinz]

Wonder if this means they're dumping Brooks..

 

[hypotherion]

 

[Froob]

Let’s go

 

[RobertWeathers]

I like this. A lot.

 

[Ivan]

I wonder if they are going to move on from Patrick Chung?

 

[Ivan]

I do like the signing.

 

[DaBruinz]

Was Phillips a UFA or SFA?

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

So not tanking

 

[RobertWeathers]

I wonder if they are going to move on from Patrick Chung?

Dead cap becomes manageable w trade after June 1.

 

[borisman]

Came back from a broken arm, in week 2, last year.

Anthony Lynn labeled his versatility “huge,” likened his presence to being “a coach on the field” and called him “the captain of that secondary.”

 

[Delicate Genius]

Was Phillips a UFA or SFA?

UFA

 

[jah]

He'll yeah

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Wonder if this means they're dumping Brooks..

Ebner replacement who can actually play on D.

 

[patsinthesnow]

One of the best SS/box safeties in the game. Can play dime LB. PFF's 6th graded safety behind Justin Simmons, Harrison Smith & Jamal Adams. I'd assume that means Chung or Brooks is gone.

 

[bormio]

The last SD safety to come here did OK

 

[PatsfanTN]

So not tanking
