Pretty sure Revis makes too much $$ for the Pats. BB has never really wanted to pay his cornerbacks; for better or worse, he seems to think it's not a position where the $$ for an elite player is worth it. He doesn't like paying ANY position other than QB, but he ran Asante out of town over money, Ty Law desperately wanted to come back and BB never offered him anything close to fair value (pretty sure Law would have taken a discount to come back). Never seemed to pursue any big-name corners. I'm hoping Talib will take a discount to return. Really, if he's healthy, between he and Dennard that's two pretty damn good corners - you'd love to have someone else, but they could like with a guy like Kyle Arrington as the third corner as long as people stay healthy.
If he can EVER stay healthy, Ras-IR Dowling's an option at the cornerback spot, too. Bigger player, maybe a little lighter than Talib but fairly tall and long arms. Was starting to carve himself out a role before he went back on IR. If he's healthy - and if he gets hurt again, he'll be a camp cut - but if he's healthy, he could be the third CB.
As much as BB loves Ed Reed, don't see him coming to NE. They want youth and athleticism. Remember they took Tavon Wilson in the 2nd round; he looked decent at times. They didn't pursue a couple of older, cheap safeties last offseason like I thought they might (Yerimiah Bell comes to mind).
