Pats pick up kicker, safety
Tebucky Jones is back with the New England Patriots. And they've finally found a replacement for departed kicker Adam Vinatieri.
Veteran kicker Martin Gramatica, who last kicked in the National Football League in 2004, has agreed to contract terms with the Pats. Gramatica kicked for Tampa Bay from 1999-2003, and was with the Colts in 2004.
Jones, a former No. 1 draft choice with the Pats, will return as a safety. He spent 2003-04 with New Orleans and 2005 in Miami. Jones played for the Pats from 1998-2002.

The Pats are now recycling guys they once cast off? Seems like they're more likely to stand pat or let guys go to save money than actually pursue anyone that might help them win another Super Bowl. For someone like Bill Belichick, who admits the NFL is a "What have you done for me lately," kind of league, it looks as if he's ready to write off any future of a New England dynasty.
