The Patriots released Chmidi Chekwa today, making him the third corner back to be cut this month. The Patriots did sign linebacker Brandon Spikes to a 1-year contract, however.
The Patriots let the best secondary in football from last year fall apart rather easily this offseason. Darrelle Revis signed a massive contract with the Jets and the Patriots let Brandon Browner walk in free agency. If the season was to start today here is the Patriots projected secondary: Safeties Devin McCourty and Patrick Chung, and Corners: Bradley Fletcher, Logan Ryan and Malcolm Butler. Does that strike fear into your heart at all?
