Agree. That is what I believe will happen.
Certainly could. It'll still involve a receiving/blocking back in some manner, though.

How do you pronounce this guys last name? Cadet like Air Force Cadet or Cadet like bidet?
Yep. And just for the record I do like the signing, just thought some were over enthusedCertainly could. It'll still involve a receiving/blocking back in some manner, though.
One thing is for sure, the Patriots are taking the Chinese approach to the position: throw all your eggs at the wall and see which ones stick.Between one of James White, Travaris Cadet, Dion Lewis, perhaps Tyler Gaffney, and perhaps a drafted back, I have confidence that the team will have a competent third down RB. I couldn't tell you for sure which guy it will be, but I feel good that it'll be one of them.

Chandler isn't a RB. I was referring to the specific position.I disagree. These are quiet signings but they can really help them. I think Chandler and Cadet can fill significant roles at a really good price. Nothing splashy but both players could play important role for them.

Also, we don't know what Cadet will bring. He may be a Woodhead diamond in the rough or he may be the player buried behind Ingram, Thomas and Robinson. I like the signing for what he represents but I'd rather take a wait and see approach.
Don't get me wrong, Cadet appears to fill a need (as does Chandler) and I do like the signing it's more cautious optimism than anything (mainly because I believe the Patriots could do with an upgrade at RB1).I'm not putting him in Canton I just think he can fill some important roles. Well see how it shakes out but I
Like the signing.
Really clever signing, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who missed the fact he was a FA.
I may get hammered for this, but I feel Vereen was made to look a special talent by our play calling and having Tom throw to him. That isn't to say he isn't good, because he is. But our system made him what he was, hence the lack of rush to get into a bidding war.
I feel Cadet can do the same kind of job.
A little too much excitement from some over this signing I think. From my limited knowledge of cadet, seems to have good hands but little ability to shed or elude tacklers and is not fast(too put it nicely). Looks like possible competition for bolden/white rather than someone who's just going to step into vereens role.
