Finally.


As if the business of player transactions didn't keep officials at Gillette Stadium busy enough today, the Patriots tried out longtime Chiefs guard Brian Waters today, a league source confirms.

It is believed the team won't let him get very far and will sign him.

Waters, who is 34, went from undrafted free agent with the Cowboys out of North Texas in 1999 to five-time Pro Bowler with Kansas City, where he played from 2000 on. He was released on July 28.

Waters was also a two-time All-Pro and the 2009 NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year for his excellence on the field and community contributions off it.

Dan Connolly suffered an ankle injury against the Lions in the Pats' third preseason game, and with Rich Ohrnberger now on injured reserve and potential guard Marcus Cannon on reserve/non-football injury list, the team is thin at guard.

Would be a great signing.

Can he cross over and play safety too

He was a TE in high school so maybe he can lobby for the Vrabel-esque role in goal line situations.....if the other former TEs like Solder and Ninkovich will let him..

huh, so we have moved on from "Can he rush the passer" to "Can he play safety"

I'm still scratching my head on these TE and safety moves as well as why BB doesn't like the first name Brandon

Eh... I don't care for this all that much. But I can tolerate it as I doubt what we've got there now is any better.

BradyFTW!

I would like this move very much. Do we still have people insisting that we're fine at guard as is, or can we all acknowledge that the guys we have won't cut it and a move should be made in the near future?

He'd been struggling in K.C..

Let the workouts and interviews begin.We need one or two veteran interior offensive lineman, and a blocking TE.
