Marcus Epps

Patriots signed S Marcus Epps, formerly of the Raiders, to a one-year, $4.4 million contract.

Epps primarily lines up as a free safety but is perhaps a better run defender than a coverage defender at this point in his career. The 29-year-old safety is coming off of a torn ACL but is “expected to be cleared well before training camp,” per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
