Pats sign Chris Harper off PS

Expected for some time, but it's now confirmed:

The interesting part for me was the release of Chris Barker, an O-lineman.

Maybe someone is coming back from medic department? Boy, I hope so

Barker cut to make room. Looks like some OL are coming back from injuries.

Make him a star, Brady.

Nice. Looking forward to seeing what he can do.

Cleanup on aisle Ross

YESSSSS!!!!!!!

Our new punt returner?

"And the winner for 'least surprising move of the year" is"...

He and Martin can also take the return load off Amendola, who is likely to be the man, which he was for one game against Buffalo.

I really like Keshawn and, surprisingly, Brady mentioned him as if he was a returning vet. Of course his stats don't add up to much yet, but how can me and Brady be wrong?

Past couple of weeks there have been optimistic reports about Cannon and Vollmer. Hopefully they both come back this week. Not sure I've heard anything about Jackson, anybody have any news about him?

Yeah, that struck me too. Considering how important the whole "relationship with Brady" thing seems to be for receivers, seems like a very good sign.

Vollmer seems like a reasonable guess: a week and a half is a pretty standard recovery timeline for a concussion.

Chris harper was a preseason favorite. Hope he is not the next Bam childress...I loved that guy

Called this exact move yesterday.

Best news I've heard all week if true.

Only thing I heard a few days after the dolphins game was that they expected him back within 3-4 weeks.

Martin must not be ready and a member of the oline is getting healthy.

NOICE! The kid is a stud receiver, great hands and good route running! Unleash him!

Bunch of people around here better get their laptops off their laps before they go flying.
