Poteat a possibility
The Patriots have had dialogue with free-agent cornerback Hank Poteat about the possibility of him signing with the club.
At this point, nothing is imminent and no official visit has been scheduled.
Poteat spent parts of 2004, 2005 and 2006 with the Patriots. He was with the Jets for most of 2006 and all of last season.
The Patriots currently have Ellis Hobbs, Tim Mixon, Mike Richardson, Antwain Spann and Jason Webster under contract at cornerback. Also, 2007 first-round pick Brandon Meriweather is an option at corner, while Chad Scott, who is an unrestricted free agent, is a candidate to return.
Hey don't forget about Otis Smith!!!
I forgot about Mike Richardson, did he show anything before he was hurt? I think he was hurt pretty early on.
OH THANK GOD
SUPER BOWL 2009 BABY
that's a lot of corners.. I guess they are trying to get as many CBs as they can and have a free for all for the spots at camp? Well at least there aren't too many good QBs we will be playing so we wont get burned too bad hopefully.
That is a scary thought that our secondary had turned to hank poteat once again ...
But heck ... we won a super bowl with him
Bring him on board ! haha
Poteat would be a good addition to the club. He is familiar with the defense, knows the players and coaches, and is not a head case or a screw up. They should make an effort to get him.
This would be a good move if the Patriots have no intention of returning Scott. Otherwise, I don't think he fits on the roster.
Hank Poteat is a poor man's version of my man O T I S Smith, getting better with age. Let's bring him back, good nickel CB who can start when needed. He's strong, especially for his size, he is athletic, has balance and quickness to stick with his man in coverage and he is football savy. He also plays well in zone coverage. A valuable backup and quality ST contributor. He is not a superstar but fills a role and does it well.
Whhyyyyy? Whhyyyy?
hank poteat was decent in madden....not good at returns in madden. sign him if hes over 6ft tall. is pacman jones avail?
HANK POTEAT !!! I am a better corner than he is!
Why dont we go for Eartwind Mooreland?
BRIAN KELLY????????????????
Hank is still one of my favorites for the fine job he did in 2004 & 2005, a very sure tackler who more than once made crucial tackles to prevent first downs in close games. Not to forget his tipping the ball away from Hines Ward during the 2004 AFCCG! Break out the Bongos!
Mike - What is the deal with Mixon and Spann? I know Mixon was on the Practice Squad, but I don't recall that he received an ERFA tender, and Spann was re-signed last Fall, was it a two year deal?
Bring in Takeo Spikes. He was just released by the Eagles
i guess saying everyone should calm cause its only march 6 wont matter huh. and the pats wont sign spikes cause he's done otherwise the eagles would of kept him
bring back the law!
I agree wholeheartedly with Gick, in that you DO really have to suck to get cut by those Dirty Birds! Lou also has a point - Otis, my man! Finally - Can you say Myron Guyton?? Yikes!!
Wow, all these posters know more about football that Belichick and Pioli! Which name is Cowher posting under? I feel privileged just to post here.
They've got to get some guys just to have enough players in camp for preseason
