Patriots Hosting Poole Indicates Their Clear Need for Help in the Secondary

The New England Patriots appear to be keenly aware of their need for help in the secondary. In the wake of trading former star cornerback Stephon Gilmore to the Carolina Panthers, the Pats have struggled to find productivity at the position beyond starters J.C. Jackson and Jalen Mills.

On Wednesday, the Patriots indicated that they are not done addressing the potential of upgrading their defensive backfield.

According to agent Drew Rosenhaus, veteran cornerback Brian Poole was in town to work out with the Patriots, as they prepare to face his former team, the New York Jets, on Sunday.
