Nigel Bradham Should Be On the Patriots Radar in Free Agency

[primetime]

While people here talk about how they want Bradham because he does things well that the Patriots' other linebackers don't do well, I think he's going to end up on a team like the Colts, who currently don't have any linebackers that do anything well. It's hard to rationalize getting into a bidding war when you're looking for a complimentary piece but another team wants their cornerstone at that position.

Yeah, the Patriots have Hightower returning and a good enough second linebacker in Van Noy. Chung is effectively their third linebacker. While Hightower's health can't be counted upon for a full season, they're really looking for quality depth and potential, not necessarily an opening day starter. Bradham's going to be paid too much for a rotational player. The one guy I'd take a look at who's really very good at what he does is Avery Williamson. If they could pick up a guy like him and a talented prospect, I think they'd be in the clear.
