David Patten was a great pickup. Team player, hard worker, good deep threat. Teams will have to respect his speed. And I'm sure he won't cost much more than $2 million per season, if that.

I'm not going to sugar-coat it on Pierce though, losing him hurts. He was the brains on the D, that will be tough to replace. Now, last year Gregg Williams didn't know he had such a smart guy in Pierce, so he went out and got Barrow. Barrow was his MLB when they were with the Titans. Barrow is very smart and can do the job of calling the signals just like Pierce did. Only thing is, Barrow can't do that if his knee doesn't let him on the field. Question is, does Gregg Williams have another LB that can step in and call the signals if Barrow can't? That will be a huge question mark for our defense.
