faba Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Patriots agree to one-year deal with Bryant By John Clayton ESPN.com (Archive) Updated: March 20, 2008, 12:15 PM ET The Patriots, down two cornerbacks because of free agency hits, reached agreement with another veteran, Fernando Bryant, to give them a competitive stable of coverage players. Bryant, who turns 31 next week, reached agreement on a one-year deal with the Patriots on Thursday morning. Bryant joins Jason Webster and Lewis Sanders as players who signed one-year deals to compete for a starting job with a Super Bowl contender. The Patriots lost cornerbacks Asante Samuel to the Eagles and Randall Gay to the Saints. They also lost Eugene Wilson to Tampa Bay. Wilson was drafted as a cornerback but finished his Patriots career as a safety. Bryant was a first-round pick of the Jaguars in 1999 and he goes to the Patriots with plenty of experience. The 5-foot-11, 175-pounder had 109 career starts for the Jaguars and Lions. He spent the last four years in Detroit, starting 38 games. He was released at the start of free agency.

Jedi_Jet1121 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Nice pick up I'd take him He'll be good in the Patriots defense more than he was with the Lions. Bryant is a Good CB but not shut down so this move is a solid move for the Cheaters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
