The Patriots have just announced the signing of veteran CB Ade Jimoh, who was most recently with the Bears.

To make room for Jimoh, first-year OL Pete McMahon was released.

A bit about Jimoh from the press release:

Ade Jimoh (pronounced ODD-ee gym-OH), 28, has played in 69 career NFL games with the Washington Redskins (2003-06) and Chicago Bears (2007). The 6-foot-1-inch, 187-pound defensive back has recorded 28 career tackles (25 solo), five passes defensed and 68 special teams tackles. Jimoh was originally signed by the Redskins as a rookie free agent out of Utah State in April 2003. He played in 63 of a possible 64 games for the Redskins over four seasons from 2003-06, and recorded 20 special teams tackles in three straight seasons from 2004-06. Jimoh was released by the Redskins following the 2007 preseason and signed with the Chicago Bears in September 2007. He played in six games for the Bears last season and recorded three special teams tackles before being placed on the reserve/injured list on Nov. 20, 2007.
