Patriots Free Agents That Need To Be Resigned + Ed Reed

I thought I'd share some of the Patriots free agents who they should resign. Well, here it goes.

Wes Welker


Ask anyone, and they'll tell you Welker had a great season this year, unless your asking bandwagon fans who are still mad about Welker dropping passes in the playoffs. Anyways, Welker finished the season with 100+ receptions and 1300+ yards, and 6 touchdowns. Welker also had some nice kick returns for us during some games. If the Patriots don't resign him, they are going to be in a hole considering they don't have that many good wide receivers. If the Patriot DO resign him, they are going to have a great year and could franchise Welker into a Pats career. So my thought is, RESIGN HIM.

Aqib Talib 


Aqib Talib was thought to be a mediocre signing when the Pats signed him. He proved everyone wrong. Talib did great for us in key games. He had a lot of tackles during the Patriots - Texans playoff game. Even though he got off to a slow start, he still did good with us later in the season. If the Patriots don't resign him, it might not be that big of deal but he can help. If the Patriots DO resign him, expect a great season from him. My thought, RESIGN HIM.

Kyle Arrington


Arrington did a great job this year too. He had 63 tackles this year and helped out a lot. He was a key player for the defense this year and he's only 26 years old. If the Patriots sign  him now, we could get him at the prime of his career. I think he will benefit us during this season. If the Patriots don't resign him we could have a hole in the defense. If the Patriots do resign him, he could help out a lot. My thought is to RESIGN HIM.

Ed Reed


Yes, I know Ed Reed is not a Patriots player but I'm putting him in here because he is going to be a free agent after this Super Bowl, and the Pats need him. Ed Reed is a safety for the Baltimore Ravens, for any of you who don't know, yes I'm talking to you Abudi and Anthony... just kidding. Anyways, Reed had 58 tackles this year, along with 4 interceptions. Not his best season but he helped Baltimore in key events such as the playoffs. Let's remind you that the Ravens were 10-6 this year and started at the first round of the playoffs and are now going to play in the Super Bowl. Reed might have been quiet during the first half of the season but towards later in the season, he sprouted and became better. The only thing that would hold the Patriots back from signing him is the kick/slide issue with Tom Brady during the 2013 AFC championship game. The NFL fined Brady for the kick/slide but Reed said he didn't think Brady was trying to kick him. Anyways, if the Patriots are brave enough to ignore that, then signing him will be a good idea. If the Patriots don't sign him, it might not affect them, but if they DO resign him, Reed could make a big impact on the defense. My thought is to SIGN HIM.

So yeah, the Patriots will have to resign some of these free agents or they could face some trouble down the road for next season. Welker should definitely be signed and so should Reed. I think Welker will get resigned but Reed, I'm not so sure about yet. Anyways, what do you think about all these free agents?
