12/15: Pats sign RB Montee Ball and WR DeAndre Carter

[Kontradiction]

If they activate Ball, we could line him up with James White on certain downs and have an all-Wisconsin backfield.

Let's hope that doesn't happen. Ball shouldn't see the field.

Pats have signed Montee Ball and DeAndre Carter. Both have lockers.

This is good to know. A locker can be useful to a pro football player.

Yay! Another Wisconsin running back on the roster

Guessing Blount on IR and Eric Martin shuffled to the practice squad.
Poor Tre Williams.
We love short wide receivers.
Josh Gordon isnt walking thru that door.
Hope Keyshawn Martin is safe really like him.

Pretty sure that Gordon is still suspended..
Why poor Trey Williams? Different type of RB compared to Blount/Ball.

 

[DaBruinz]

Are the cone number accurate? Something seems off.

Carter's number should be 6.64.. Not 3.64.. Just a typo

 

[DaBruinz]

I wonder what the two corresponding moves are that the Patriots have made with the signing of Ball and Carter..

 

[DaBruinz]

Let's hope that doesn't happen. Ball shouldn't see the field.

And just why is this? Because he has 4 fumbles on over 200 touches??

Blount is on crutches.

We need to have a 3rd RB active for the next couple of weeks.

 

[Ross12]

Dudes, he's just on the practice squad. If he doesn't work out, he will get dumped quick. No harm in seeing how he looks for a couple weeks. He had potential at one point not too long ago... Between Ball and Williams, hopefully one makes it happen.

I'd guess Trey Williams or Kelsey Quarles to the 53. Current PS squad has 9 so promoting one gives the space for both Carter and Ball.

 

[rochrist]

This does not bode well for Blount.

I suspect Blount is out til the playoffs but ought to be back at some point. Otherwise, they'd just IR him the way they did Easley.

 

[DaBruinz]

I'd guess Trey Williams or Kelsey Quarles to the 53. Current PS squad has 9 so promoting one gives the space for both Carter and Ball.

Practice squad had 10.
Barker, Harper, Hill, Iosefa, Melvin, Milton, Quarles, Vereen, Trey Williams, and Torrian Wilson.

The Martin Promotion off-set the Trey Williams signing..

I checked Ourlads and they had them at 9 but for some reason are missing Vereen. I stand corrected.

No worries.. I always pull from the Pats website. They are usually right on top of roster moves within a couple hours of the transaction wire.

As I just mentioned on the air, I'm hearing LeGarrett Blount's season is over. Don't kill the messenger.
