The Patriots have signed 31-year old CB Deltha O’Neal.  O’Neal is a talented player who should help the Patriots out this season.  He played in all 16 games (8 starts) for the Bengals last season and he made 52 tackles, defensed 9 passes and he had 1 interception.  O’Neal will likely fit in on the nickel and dime packages for the Patriots this season.  O’Neal has now played in 116 games (75 starts) in his NFL career and he has made 354 tackles, has 15 sacks, has defensed 57 passes and he has 31 interceptions including 3 that he returned for TDs.  This was a good move for the Patriots.
