Patriots Sign Ex-Bill Stroud
The Patriots have announced signing former Bill DE Marcus Stroud to a two-year deal. At his age, his play was declining and he struggled to get off blocks this past season (let alone taking up double-teams like the Patriots’ system asks for out of their ends). Normally, I would think Belichick was signing him to use him for information on our defense, only to cut him before...

New England has agreed to a two year deal with 3-4 defensive end Marcus Stroud. The Patriots already have two defensive ends on the left side in Ron Brace and Brandon Deadrick. This move basically means that the Buffalo Bills 3-4 left end will play right end in the 3-4 scheme for the New England Patriots next year. This also means New England will probably go outside linebacker...
