The 13-year veteran has also played for the Seattle Seahawks and the Washington Redskins.
The Patriots drafted Rutgers cornerback Devin McCourty in the first round of last month’s draft and re-signed veteran cornerback Leigh Bodden. They also have Darius Butler, a second-round choice last season, and third-year player Jonathan Wilhite.
