The New England Patriots need to add talent across the board this offseason.
Even with a star like Christian Gonzalez leading the position group, New England needs more at cornerback. If the team goes the free agent route, it shouldn’t need to look too far.
ESPN listed cornerback D.J. Reed as the fourth-best free agent with the Patriots as a “best fit” team. Reed and Sauce Gardner formed a formidable duo in the secondary with the New York Jets. Reed could easily bring that tandem energy to New England to team up with Gonzalez.
The 28-year-old posted production at three previous NFL stops with the Jets, the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers.
