New York, NY (Sports Network) - The New England Patriots appeared to have won the services of free agent cornerback Shawn Springs.

NFL.com reports that the Patriots reached an agreement with the veteran defender on Thursday.

Springs spent the past five seasons with Washington after playing his first seven years with Seattle. The Ohio State product grew up in nearby Silver Spring, Maryland.

Last season, Springs missed seven games with a calf injury and finished the campaign with 36 tackles and one interception. In his five seasons with the Redskins, he picked off 12 passes, notched seven sacks and recorded 250 tackles.
