Patriots' E.J. Biggers: Agrees to terms with Pats
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire


E.J. Biggers signed a one-year, $840,000 contract with the New England Patriots , the Boston Globe's Ben Volin reports.

With only $25,000 of the contract guaranteed, Biggers will likely have to prove that he's worthy of a roster spot. He has 34 career starts to his name, but he'll merely be competing for a depth role on a New England team that has Malcolm Butler and Logan Ryan locked in as the starting cornerbacks.

I know I'll get laughed at but who is this guy?

 

[BigKen]

Biggers is a six-year veteran who has spent time with Tampa Bay (2010-12), Washington (2013-14) and Philadelphia (2015). He has started 34 of the 92 games he’s played during his career and has 262 tackles and four interceptions during that time.

Biggers started a career-high 12 games in 2012 playing for the Bucs under coach Greg Schiano, a long-time friend of Bill Belichick. Perhaps the connection, as well as time spent during joint practices between the Patriots and Bucs helped facilitate the signing.

Last season with the Eagles, Biggers started just three of his 16 games and finished with 39 tackles, seven passes defensed and no interceptions. He’ll enter the mix of corners looking to earn jobs in camp behind Butler and Ryan. That list includes Justin Coleman, Darryl Roberts, Rashaan Melvin and Brock Vereen. The Patriots are also likely to add at least one corner in the draft considering it is one of the thinnest positions on the roster.

Roberts intrigues me a lot. I'm excited to see him play.
