Reports are coming out that the Giants have cut veteran middle linebacker Antonio Pierce. The Giants are in need of a shakeup, so this shouldn't be too surprising, and I don't expect this to be the last one either.
Could he be a fit for the Patriots?
I think he could be. The Patriots have lost a lot of veteran talent when Bruschi, Harrison retired, and Seymour/Vrabel were traded. Pierce could be a nice person to turn to and help Mayo in the middle of that 3-4 defense. Pierce isn't overly athletic, but he can be a tackling machine, which is something the Patriots have been missing. If the Patriots could sign him to a short term deal I think it might be worth it.
