Ryan is in Tennessee.
Sheard (down year still solid player) went to Indy.
Hightower looks like he's set on leaving New England and Butler is packing his bags to move to New Orleans.
But Pats added Gilmore!
I don't see how - in any capacity - fbis defense is better than last years. And I personally didn't think last year's was all that great.
Gilmore is not better than butler in my eyes. At best, he's similar in skill as a player. They still haven't made up for the loss at CB2. Combined with Brady turnin 40 I don't like the direction Bill is taking.
Cyrus Jones will be as good as Ryan was in the system. Ryan was helped by scheme and an All-Pro Safety
Sheard was replaced by Ealy who will probably get double digit sacks in the Pats system
If Hightower was set on leaving he would have told the Pats and there wouldn't be an agreement that he would allow the Pats to match the best offer he finds if he even finds a better offer than the Pats initial.
Gilmore will be a better CB in the Pats system than Butler is. Belichick will put Gilmore 1 on 1 against Julio Jones opening night next season. He wouldn't and didn't do that with Butler.
