Cyrus Jones re-signed off Raven’s PS

[Todd Bradley]

Uh. Okay then.

 

[Sicilian]

Interesting... wonder who goes now? Could be a sign that they want more out of PR, or that Chung is going to miss some time.

 

[PatsfanTN]

Desperate times on defense?

More likely PR. CJ was behind Jackson and Crossen at DB.

 

[Kontradiction]

Fantastic news.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Eh, I’m waiting for the Pats to trade for Jordan Richards.

I know there is going to be a lot of sarcasm in here. But we need a punt returner. And while it was a small sample size I was encouraged by both his coverage and return skills when he finally got on the field this past preseason.

I was glad they kept JC and Crossen over him for the 53 but I wasn't totally ready to give up on Cyrus. One last hope.

 

[Todd Bradley]

I’m gonna assume Croston got the axe.

He’s the proverbial revolving door on this roster.

 

[zoostation]

I know I'm in the minority on this and I know all about his return game debacles. But I think BB see's a future with CJ here and it was a difficult cut.

Yeah, he has a lot of potential... as long as he doesn't put the ball on the ground. Sadly, it looks like Edelman will be back there again once the suspension is up. All time great PR, but you're further increasing the risk of injury with him out there on ST.

Cyrus could be a really good CB, he has the skills. He just needs time. Patriots also need a PR. Maybe they saw Jason McCourty and Rowe and thought, Cyrus can't be much worse and he has a lot more upside.

 

[jah]

I thought this might happen. I expect Barner to be cut (or maybe one of Jackson/Crossen).

 

[Todd Bradley]

Two year deal too per Schefty

 

[Patriot Missile]

I think you can hear the sighs of relief all the way down in Baltimore.

Not either of those.
Why not Rowe?
Or trade rowe for the pick we lost from gordon.

I don't think Rowe is as bad as he showed against the Jags, and if we trade away every player that looked bad in that game we wouldn't have a defense anymore.

McCourty and Rowe have been anywhere from meh to terrible in the first two weeks of the season but there's nothing in Cyrus the Virus' career, going back to his days at Bama, to suggest that he just needs the time to really turn it around.

The Pats' 2016 draft is trending upwards.

He was a converted WR at Alabama. He was raw coming into NE and then he got hurt. I'd like to believe he could turn into a decent number 2 or 3 CB. He can't be worse than what the Patriots have now.

 

[Soliel]

Now he will come back and look like that crazy defensive back in cleaveland. Pick off 3 passes in a game
