Pats Sign LB Victor Hobson
The stockpile of veteran free agent signings continue for the Patriots as they have inked former Jets LB Victor Hobson to a one year deal.
Hobson, 28, has primarly played outside linebacker in his five years in the NFL, all with the Jets. Hobson comes with decent size – 6′0″, 250 pounds – and has only missed four games in his five year NFL career due to injury. He projects to play both inside and outside linebacker for the Patriots.
My Take: Another ho-hum signing. Maybe he’ll transition well to the inside and be the backbone of the corps for years to come, or maybe he’ll play out the year and move on. He did have an impressive 2006 season (100 tackles, six sacks) and his durability is a plus, though I think the Patriots will still address linebacker in the draft.

As a Jets fan I’m sad to see Hobson sign with the Pats. He was always a solid player but like Vilma but played behind a crappy defensive line. Good pickup.
