Adam Caplan, of Scout.com, reports New England Patriots have agreed to terms with unrestricted free-agent SS James Sanders (Patriots) on a three-year deal worth $9 million. Sanders, 25, turned down more money elsewhere to return to the Patriots.
In the past, Sanders has been credited by Patriots coaches with aiding the overall communication of the secondary, as his knowledge of the overall defense is considered valuable. He is a projected starter at safety for 2009 alongside Brandon Meriweather.
Consider this a band-aid...the Patriots will still be bringing in other players for the secondary. The Patriots have arranged a free-agent visit with CB Shawn Springs, who was released by the Redskins after five seasons. The Patriots also hosted free-agent CB Leigh Bodden on Friday. The sides did not reach a contract agreement though.
