Player Signing Patriots sign Ty Montgomery

[ashley]

Some news. He's kind of a jack of all trades:

 

[ashley]

 

[TheRazorsEdge]

Return Man who offers more than Gunner did as a receiver and running back. Slight upgrade overall from Gunner - Gunner being the better STer.

 

[BennyBledsoe]

Kinda looks like James White insurance along with being another versatile weapon.

 

[Hyped]

I like it...but:

CB, LB, DT, OL, and WR pretty please with sugar on top!!!

 

[Rob0729]

He was pretty productive in Green Bay, but that was several years go. Didn't do a heck of a lot in recent years, but he will be a better fit with the Pats than his last few teams.

This signing makes significantly more sense when you realize he had 10 ST tackles last season. He's the new Bolden, both on offense and ST.

 

[jah]

Poor man's Patterson?

 

[Triumph]

Hes averaged at least 10 special teams snaps per game.

Pretty good hands in the passing game.

 

[Drunken Cicerone]

Poor man's Patterson?

Destitute man’s Patterson maybe

 

[RobertWeathers]

Cagy vet. Knows what it takes to stay in the league. He'll do well here.

Yep, Bolden replacement with WR upside.

Do you think he ends up counting vs comp formula? looks like this deal will be below the threshold..

 

[WeezyFbaby]

Had absolutely no idea hes 29, thought he was 40

Yeah, should fall short. Korte says $2M alone won't make him qualify, and I'd say he's unlikely to get much (if any) playing time boost. Snap count doesn't come into play with the comp pick calculation until 25%, and Bolden only played 31% of the offensive snaps last season even with White out for about 87% of the season.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Can he line up at slot or is he more of a cordarelle patterson?

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Poor man's Patterson?

Think of him compared to bolden not Patterson. Mainly special teams but can play in the backfield if need be.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Hes averaged at least 10 special teams snaps per game.

Pretty good hands in the passing game.

and holds on to the ball. 4 fumbles in 454 touches. Gunnar had 5 fumbles in 117 touches.

 

[sb1]

Was just gonna say... new Bolden or new Gunner?

 

[Ross12]

I really like this move! Great value, obviously will be really valuable on special teams but will probably also rotate in on offense a decent amount as well.
