The veteran is currently a free agent, so the Patriots brought him in for a workout.
The New England Patriots have one of the league's premier safety corps. It has talent, depth and youth at both the strong and the free safety positions: Devin McCourty and Patrick Chung are among the best in the league at playing their respective roles, while Duron Harmon and Jordan Richards are quality backups.
The position being one of the best on the Patriots' roster doesn't stop the team from scanning the market for possible depth options, though.
