Marcus Epps signs a one-year, $4.4 million deal with the Patriots, bringing experience and a potential immediate impact to the secondary, despite a previous season-ending injury.

Marcus Epps is another key free agent the Raiders are considering re-signing. His contributions to the team’s defense have been noted, and retaining him could bolster their secondary significantly.

Marcus Epps' injury opened the door for Isaiah Pola-Mao to shine last season. Epps was initially a starting safety, but his ACL tear in Week 3 allowed Pola-Mao to step in and make an impact.

Marcus Epps, returning from a torn ACL, has been a solid contributor but his future with the Raiders is uncertain given his injury and contract situation. The team may consider alternatives.

Marcus Epps is also on the free-agent list, contributing to the uncertainty in the Raiders' defensive strategy as they consider their options for next season.
