Manish Metha tweets Marques Murrell is going to the Pats.

Robert Kraft announced on local radio that #Patriots signed former #Jets LB Marques Murrell today.

I thought Murrell was a decent special teamer, but this isn't as big as losing Wallace Wright. I trust Rex to assess the defensive talent. If he thought he could develop Murrell into something special, I'm sure the team would have shown more interest retaining him at a cheap price and certainly wouldn't have let him go to the Pats without a fight.
