NFL Newtwork reports the the Patriots have signed former Jet Victor Hobson, LB.

The 6-foot, 252-pound Hobson enters his sixth NFL season. He played the first five years of his career with the Jets.

Hobson, 28, played outside linebacker in the Jets’ 3-4 alignment the last two years. While Hobson has not played inside in the 3-4, he could see some work there for the Patriots, who like versatility among their ‘backers.

Hobson has been durable, playing in 76 career games, while missing only four. He has 58 starts, with 349 tackles and 11 career sacks.

Solid Solid pickup. I did not know he was even available. He is versitile and a solid LB. Watching him play at Michigan I absolutly loved him. I think he will be a valuable pick up for the Pats this year.
