i wonder how much taylor would cost per season. i say this because there are reports on rotoworld that Derrick Ward's tag has gone down to 2.5M per season. living in NY i was able to see him almost every week. hes incredible running out of the shotgun, i dont think ive seen a running back look more comfortable or better running out of the shotgun like ward. with our offense, he would fit in nicely. i think he will get more than 2.5M and price himself out of our range, but he is certainly someone to consider if we seriously are thinking about adding another RB

Both teams made contract offers to the 11-year veteran, but the Patriots' recent run of success may have tipped the balance for Taylor, who has seen two players close to him -- cousin Santonio Holmes with the Steelers and friend Plaxico Burress with the Giants -- win Super Bowl rings, something Taylor hasn't had a chance to come close to achieving yet.

The Providence Journal reports that free agent Fred Taylor is likely to join the Patriots.
The paper believes Taylor, 33, "likely has at least three good seasons left." While that's far from likely, Taylor figures to come cheap and will be a candidate for significant early-down carries in New England. It appears he's choosing Bill Belichick's club over Dick Jauron's. Not exactly a tough one.
