Bryant on board

According to profootballtalk.com, the Patriots have signed free agent cornerback Fernando Bryant to a one-year deal.

Bryant, a nine-year veteran, apparently also had an offer on the table from Denver but decided to join New England. A Georgia native, he spent the last four seasons with the Lions, after playing for Jacksonville for the first five years of his career. The Jaguars chose Bryant (5-foot-10, 175 pounds) 26th overall out of Alabama in 1999.

Heavily involved in community work, Bryant played in all 16 games last season, with 69 tackles, two interceptions, 13 passes defensed and a forced fumble. However, he played in just 22 games over his first three seasons in Detroit, including just two in 2005.
