UPDATE: ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss tweeted out the terms of McClain's one-year deal.

CB Robert McClain contract details: 1-year, $1.24 million. Signing bonus of 150k, roster bonus of 240k, base salary of 800k. — Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) March 18, 2015

ORIGINAL STORY: The Patriots' secondary makeover continues.

Free agent cornerback Robert McClain tweeted that he's joining the Patriots after three seasons with the Atlanta Falcons.

Thankful to have the opportunity to continue my career with the @Patriots — Robert McClain (@bobbymac36) March 18, 2015

McLain's tweet came Wednesday on the heels of the Patriots' reported signing of cornerback Bradley Fletcher. The 26-year old McLain initially visited the Patriots on Tuesday.

McClain's career began in 2010 when the Carolina Panthers selected him out of the University of Connecticut in the seventh round of the NFL draft. Before his three-year run in Atlanta, he spent one season with the Panthers and then one with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He missed just one game in the past three years, starting 15 games and spending most of his time operating out of the slot. He had two of his three career interceptions last season, played special teams for the Falcons and checks in at 5-foot-9, 194 pounds.
