Today was the deadline for RFAs. It appears they only tendered Randall
Gay,
and they did it for $1.3M. This means that other teams will have to
give
the Pats a 2nd round pick to sign him. Their other options would have
been
to tender him with the lowest offer (~$800k), essentially making him a
UFA;
or tender him with a higher offer which would require a first round pick
if
another team signs him. Looks like the 2nd round tender was the right
choice.

Good, I like this guy and think he can be a pretty good defensive back
eventually. He can be a valuable defensive back I think. Of course
Samuel and Hobbs have played alot better and deserve their spots as
starters.

I think Gay is a better corner than Hobbs. But two major injuries in two
years tells us that we probably can't count on him.
