The Patriots have signed former Giants safety Jabrill Peppers to a one-year contract. The contract is worth up to $5 million dollars including incentives.
At first glance, the Patriots’ signing of Peppers seemed like an unnecessary one. Safety was one of the deeper positions on the team as the Patriots have Devin McCourty, Adrian Phillips, Kyle Dugger, Justin Bethel, and Cody Davis (mainly special teams). Last year they drafted Joshuah Bledsoe who was injured, knowing he wouldn’t contribute in 2021.
So, the 2022 Patriots safety position is stacked. Peppers is still just 26 and stands at 5’11, 215.
