The Patriots announced the signing of veteran cornerback Ade Jimoh today. To make room for Jimoh on the roster, the team released first-year offensive lineman Pete McMahon.

Jimoh will wear No. 43.

A bit from the team's press release:

Ade Jimoh (pronounced ODD-ee gym-OH), 28, has played in 69 career NFL games with the Washington Redskins (2003-06) and Chicago Bears (2007). The 6-foot-1-inch, 187-pound defensive back has recorded 28 career tackles (25 solo), five passes defensed and 68 special teams tackles. Jimoh was originally signed by the Redskins as a rookie free agent out of Utah State in April 2003. He played in 63 of a possible 64 games for the Redskins over four seasons from 2003-06, and recorded 20 special teams tackles in three straight seasons from 2004-06. Jimoh was released by the Redskins following the 2007 preseason and signed with the Chicago Bears in September 2007. He played in six games for the Bears last season and recorded three special teams tackles before being placed on the reserve/injured list on Nov. 20, 2007.

Hey Mike, this isn't a comment, but the only I could figure to get a Question to you. Is Sundays game being broadcast by any other stations than NFL Network? Last year channel 5 broadcast locally, but I haven't seen or heard anything about this Sunday. Maby you could answer this in your blog so all will be informed. Thanks.
