Marquice Cole re-signed by Patriots


Marquice Cole was basically at the end of the depth chart on the Patriots cornerback list, he played mostly in the slot. He has special teams value but he's not someone the team should really rely on on the defensive side. I remember thinking in the AFC Championship game, "why are the Ravens moving the ball so easily? Oh, they're picking on Marquice Cole". That Aqib Talib injury really changed that game.

Anyway, welcome back Marquice Cole.
