Alterraun Verner: 'New England Patriots are a possibility'

Tennessee Titans cornerback Alterraun Verner admits that the New England Patriots could be in for his signature during free agency.

Tennessee Titans cornerback Alterraun Verner has revealed that the New England Patriots are interested in signing him during free agency.

The 25-year-old is out of contract when the league year begins on Tuesday, and he has admitted that Patriots safety Devin McCourty has urged his side to sign him.

"[The Patriots are] definitely a possibility," Verner told Mad Dog Sports Radio. "Jason [McCourty's] brother has been lobbying for me.

"I would feel more obliged to go to a team that paid me $6m or $7m and made me one of the highest-paid players on the team, than go to a team that paid me $8m or $9m and I wasn't one of the highest-paid players on the team."

Verner recorded 57 tackles and five interceptions in the 2013 campaign.
