The Patriots have signed linebacker Victor Hobson.  Hobson played in 16 games (14 starts) for the Jets last season and he made 62 tackles, had 2 sacks and defensed 4 passes.  Hobson has now played in 76 games (57 starts) in his NFL career and he has made 343 tackles, has 11 sacks, defensed 8 passes, has 3 interceptions and he has forced a fumble.  This was a solid move for the Patriots as they needed to replenish the linebacking corps a little bit with age creeping in.
