The Patriots have signed Bradley Fletcher on a 1-year/$2.5 million deal according to CSNNE, as part of their plan to bulk up after losing Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner.

Per CSNNE:

Fletcher, who'll turn 29 in June, started 15 games for the Eagles last season, making 60 combined tackles, forcing a fumble, and intercepting one pass that was returned for a touchdown.

The Patriots would be relatively familiar with Fletcher after working against him for a week in each of the last two training camps while he was with the Eagles. Because he's coming off of a season in which he allowed opposing quarterbacks to compile a 107.6 rating, according to Pro Football Focus, the former third-round pick could be a bargain that's worth the gamble.

Sounds like a legit replacement for Darrelle Revis, right? 1 interception and a 107 passer rating against him. I hope he can improve on that, though. He's got some big shoes to fill.
