The Patriots are pushing to re-sign safety Duron Harmon, and a deal is expected to come together, per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (Twitter link).
New England’s secondary is in flux, as the club has agreed to sign cornerback Stephon Gilmore away from the Bills and is reportedly considering a trade involving Malcolm Butler. Harmon would remain a constant in the defensive backfield if re-signed, however, as he’s appeared in 63 of a possible 64 game during his four-year run with the Patriots.
Harmon, 26, has never been a full-time starter in New England, instead serving as the team’s designated nickel safety. That’s an important role in today’s passing league, however, and the ability to cover the deep section of the field is a skill that could lead to a large paycheck. As such, PFR ranked Harmon as the No. 2 free agent safety and the No. 12 overall free agent.
1. Bring back Hightower
2. Trade Butler for Cooks
3. Bring back Ryan
4. Trade Jimmy G for a 1st
5. Try to bring back Blunt
6. Bring back Sheard or get a Barwin in FA
Moves I’d like to see
Sheard kind of choked on us this year so I don’t really want him back and I hope we can find someone who runs better than Blount but the rest I agree with
I think Blunt is gone. But I wish he’d remain. I like the RB trio of Blunt, Lewis & White.
Sign Adrian Peterson instead of Blount, let Ryan walk, resign Butler, trade Jimmy G for a first, flip that first for Cooks. Like Hightower and Sheard though.
Agreed
