Patriots just signed controversial tackle with Mike Vrabel ties for depth boost

Of the many groups in need of a lot of depth this offseason, the Patriots' offensive line might be near the top. With an aging right tackle in Morgan Moses and a second-year lineman moving from the starting left guard to center, they need to add adequate depth to ensure they're in a better spot than they were last season, particularly late in the year.

It's likely what led them to sign James Hudson, who is coming off a single season spent with the Giants.

But it was one for the books, as he became infamously known for a horrific drive against the Cowboys in Week 2, in which Hudson was hit with four penalties, including a punch to an opposing player, resulting in an emotional outburst on the sideline that ultimately got him benched.
