New_england_patriots_b339
Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe reports the Patriots have re-signed center/guard Dan Connolly, according to a league source. It's not immediately known whether or not this signals the end of Dan Koppen's nine-year run with the Patriots, but Connolly was looking for starting money after playing well in 13 games (11 starts) last season after Koppen went on injured reserve. Connolly, 29, missed the better part of four games last season with a groin injury. He originally came to the Patriots in 2007 when he was signed to the practice squad. He started 24 games the previous two seasons. In 2010 he filled in for Logan Mankins (holdout) at left guard, and then Stephen Neal (shoulder injury) at right guard.
