The New England Patriots addressed one of their biggest roster holes Wednesday morning, adding some much-needed depth at cornerback.

Ahead of the official start of NFL free agency, the Patriots agreed to terms with veteran Terrance Mitchell on a one-year, $3 million contract, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Mitchell has bounced around the league since being drafted in the seventh round in 2014, appearing in games for the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans. The 29-year-old Oregon product has seen significant playing time in recent years, however, starting all 16 games for Cleveland in 2020 and 13 for Houston this past season.

In Cleveland, Mitchell overlapped for two seasons with Eliot Wolf, one of the leading figures in New England’s personnel department. He also played for ex-Patriots executive Nick Caserio during his one year with the Texans.
 
Jag, little more. This seasons success is largely going to rely on how well last seasons draft class progress, and how much the upcoming draft can contribute.

We're literally in the first few hours of free agency. He's an NFL quality CB. Apart from Ty Law, the Pats have better CBs than when they won their first 3 SBs. Now, it's a different era and you can argue that you need them more now, but the point stands.
