I’ll take the depth he’d provide but it’s not a signing I’d be exciting about. Certainly would get a fair shot in camp and he was, at one point, the kind of player the Pats need to add. I’m just not sure he can still be that player.
He missed 2013 after tearing his ACL and here’s what his 2012 looked liked per ProFootballFocus.com:

Jamie Collins to Break Out for New England Patriots’ Defense?
Piggybacking on this morning’s question, I took a closer look at Jamie Collins with a sweet GIF of his sack of Andrew Luck in the playoffs.
One nice nugget – Collins had the highest grade from PFF of any Patriots defender since Vince Wilfork’s agains the Texans in December 2012.
I think Hightower slides to middle linebacker, Collins plays the strongside where he can do some covering and some blitzing and Mayo stays at weakside where he can use his speed to make that majority of the tackles. I really liked how Hightower came on at the end of the season and I think he demonstrated good physicality that showed he can be a stout mike.
Is he going to be the same downhill train that Spikes was against the run? No, but he’s still very physical and is more agile in dropping into coverage.
I remain concerned about the depth behind these three, would love to add another coverage guy. Beauharnais could be an interesting guy to watch in camp to see if he can make a jump, but I also think they’ll add another linebacker in the draft, somewhere in 3rd/4th round range.
