Patriots sign Rex Burkhead

[I.M. Fletcher]

Lewis protection, or replacement. Depending on how they view Lewis currently.

Love this signing. This guy runs hard between the tackles and gets the extra yardage and is excellent catching the ball out of the backfield. Excellent on special teams as well.

I can still see them signing Blount if he's willing to come back on a reasonable contract.

Woodhead left 5 years ago

Jeff Fisher disagrees.

Are the Bengals just giving up?

Sure looks like it..




They did re-sign LaFell though..

Warren Sharp @SharpFootball Rex Burkhead (visiting NE) was #2 in success rate for RBs. But on plays that weren't successful, he was the #1 RB in fewest missed yards.

I didn't wanna be the one to throw that out there, but I agree.
You got cajones brother

I mean, he can catch, he can run inside...sure sounds like Lewis to me.

IMO both are true.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Woodhead replacement? Now just bring back Bolden and we are set.

You don't think this maybe makes him expendable? Does he play ST's?

Bolden replacement in 2017
Maybe Lewis or White replacement in 2018

Oh snap, I killed that joke. My bad.

I love this signing. He may not look like it but he's an inside power runner (that can catch). Hope he gets a chance to prove himself.

22 carries for 119 yards vs. the Ravens. A much better RB than Hill but the Bengals found out too late.

Woody pipes up.

I was wondering the same thing. I can honestly say I've never heard of the guy. I'll need someone to tell me why this exciting news.

For the person who rated this 'funny'....in looking him up just now I see he was a role player on the Bengals, a team that was on very few people's radar last year.

so BB planned the blizzard so Burkhead had to sign to get out of town
