Better Slater Than Never

The Pats signed Mathew Slater to a two year contract. The free agent had visited with the Steelers, but left without a contract. There wasn't much interest from other teams.

The ten year veteran has been selected to seven Pro Bowls, but faces a battle in training camp for a roster spot. The team recently traded for WR Cordarrelle Patterson who is also a gunner on special teams like Slater.

One of these players won't be on the roster when the Pats start the season.
