No matter how it’s viewed, the New England Patriots’ offseason has been an eventful one. Players have come and gone, but the team still stands with hopes of competing. With the signings starting to slow, the media has begun to analyze New England’s moves this offseason, and there have been mixed reviews.
ESPN’s NFL analyst Field Yates believes that the Patriots got an amazing deal when they re-signed Devin McCourty. The safety agreed to a contract that’s essentially worth $23 million over two years. At his age, McCourty might not be a top-three safety in the league, but it’s his knowledge and fit that makes him important.
