Pats keep slot CB Arrington on four-year deal
Kyle Arrington - DB - New England Patriots
March 15, 2013 - 2:25 PM ET
Patriots re-signed CB Kyle Arrington to a four-year, $16 million contract.
The deal includes $8.5 million guaranteed. With the Pats yet to re-sign Aqib Talib or find a viable replacement, they've re-upped a key piece of depth. Arrington has started at least 12 games each of the past three seasons, but struggled mightily in 2012 before being demoted to nickel back. He is one of the NFL's premier slot corners, but the Pats don't want to enter 2013 with Arrington on the outside. Considering the way the cornerback market has collapsed, Talib should be back soon enough. Arrington is making a lot to man the slot.
