Patriots | More On Their Safety Spot - posted at KFFL (http://nfl.kffl.com)
5:55 PT: Updating previous reports, the Boston Globe reports the Wednesday signing of S Rodney Harrison means the New England Patriots may look to move S Tebucky Jones or S Lawyer Milloy. Although Milloy and Harrison both play strong safety, coach Bill Belichick's defenses often employ split safeties that minimize the distinction between strong and free safety. New England put the franchise tag on Jones prior to free agency but now will lift it and allow him to enter free agency at some point or try to swing a trade for him or Milloy. If a deal could then be made with Jones that was more in line with Harrison's numbers, New England would save a lot of future money by moving Milloy.
