Pats Move Meriweather

You know I say it all the time. It’s a terribly slow time of year in terms of football news. To be honest, whether you’re a pro or college team, right now making the news is not entirely a good thing. It seems lately that the only teams making big news are the teams who are signing big time free agents, and if your team is signing big time free agents, then you’re likely attempting to get better because you weren’t the best last year. Or, you might be making news for other unsavory affairs (like losing half your defense or being embroiled in a cheating scandal, just to cover the two Super Bowl teams), which is never good either.

The Patriots are no exception, and this day their extremely poor cornerback situation is making news. It appears the Patriots may be inclined to move Brandon Meriweather from safety to corner. Meriweather dealt with some issues last year, being moved from corner to safety midseason. However, it appears the Pats will now move him back to corner, to help their extremely shorthanded secondary. The Pats may even look to the draft for another smart, athletic cornerback to bolster their reserves, as the players on the depth chart at the moment will likely not get the job done next season.
