Felix Jones Visiting with the Patriots
The New England Patriots might have Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen, Brandon Bolden, LeGarrette Blount and Leon Washington to make up their running back corps—but you can always improve.
The way that I look at it: You can never have enough running backs.
Much like baseball, in which you can never have enough pitchers, I believe that you can never have enough running backs in football...
Patriots Work Out Former Cowboys RB Felix Jones
The New England Patriots backfield is starting to fill up, but that wont stop the team from looking at players they may be able to help next season.

Jones, 26, averaged a career-low 3.6 yards per carry last season and finished...
Report: LaGarrette Blount Takes Pay Cut to Play for Patriots
LaGarrette Blount hasn’t hurdled any opponents, made any open-field jukes or barreled through the goal line yet, but his first move in a Patriots uniform is fitting for New England’s team-first approach.
Blount took a pay cut upon being traded to the Patriots, according to ESPN.com. The former Buccaneer was set to earn $1.2 million in 2013, but his salary was cut $630,000. If...
Comparative Castles and Market Mispricing
In a southwestern suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, there exists a sprawling brick colonial. A little over 5,000 square feet, the estate greets you with a two-story grand foyer where chocolate dark wood meets crisp white pillars, both of which lead to a giant staircase. Immediately to your right is a front room typical of most large, newly constructed homes—relatively unused, pristine...
Looking For Something In Returns
With Danny Woodhead going to San Diego and Julian Edelman visiting other teams, New England’s return game has an uncertain future. Yes, the Pats signed Leon Washington, but the former Seahawk is 30 years old, which typically qualifies as the running back/returner Rubicon.
The good news? The 2013 draft has many special teams candidates who should remain available late on Day Three...
Leon Washington Available
According to Jason LaCanfora, the Seattle Seahawks have made Leon Washington available via trade. Washington is a special teams ace, and a great returner. He won’t generate that much trade value in my opinion, as there is still a good chance he may just be straight away cut. The move does make sense with Percy Harvin coming to town however..

Vote: Who Has Been the Patriots’ Best Free-Agent Signing This Offseason?

San Diego Chargers agree to deal with RB Danny Woodhead
Wes Welker isn’t the only fan favorite that will be playing for another team next season. On Friday, the San Diego Chargers agreed to a two-year deal with cult hero Danny Woodhead.

Woodhead Signs with Chargers
Well you obviously can’t bring everyone back and with the signing of Leon Washington, the writing was perhaps on the wall for Danny Woodhead who signed a two-year contract with the San Diego Chargers.

Danny Woodhead has signed a two-year deal with the San Diego...
Danny Woodhead has signed a two-year deal with the San Diego Chargers. Between Stevan Ridley, Brandon Bolden, Shane Vereen and now Leon Washington (to an extent), there wasn’t an overwhelming need to bring Woodhead back to New England, though he was arguable the Patriots most reliable runningback in 2012. He was a fun player to watch, and the great heart he played with will be missed.
Chargers Reach An Agreement With RB Danny Woodhead
Mike Reiss reports that the San Diego Chargers have reached a two-year agreement with free agent RB Danny Woodhead.

Why Leon Washington will vastly improve Patriots special teams in 2013

To improve on that for the upcoming season, the team signed former New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks RB/KR Leon Washington to one-year deal on Thursday. Washington, who can return punts and kicks...
