Is Cole the Bronco spy?

Oh 'tis the season of player pickups and possibly using them to grab information from the opposing team, first Deion Branch, now Marquice Cole.

The Denver Broncos announced they had picked up Patriots former DB Marquice Cole in the wake of losing their star corner. So how could we interpret this news? Absolutely nothing, at least that's what the Broncos want us to believe. The Broncos are downplaying the pickup according to a PFT article published yesterday. 

If anything, the Broncos may use him in coverages which could get rather interesting since he would probably be defending the 4th or 5th receiver against the spread formation. Since Cole was never a big part of the defense, he surely went one on one plenty of times in the past against Patriot receivers  and Tom Brady.

So should Patriots Nation really be concerned about Cole signing to the Broncos? Let's put it this way, if an undrafted free agent in his 6th year on his 6th team determines the outcome of the game on the field? The Patriots deserve to lose. There is nothing that Manning doesn't know about New England's defense.
