Player Signing Patriots sign Ezekiel Elliott to a 1 year deal

[Ras-IR Dowling]

He's still a very effective short yardage and goal-line back as well.

that’s what would make me nervous if I had Rham in fantasy. Zeke could be the beneficiary of our rushing tds in the redzone.

 

[TheRainMaker]

I'd rather have him than the woman and dog abuser Dalvin Cook.

He can still be effective to spell Rham.

Soon to be former patriots rb. Or future patriots practice squad rb.

Maybe. But I find it difficult to blame him for lack of rushing yards when the OL sucks. Same goes for QB. Only running QB’s and shifty RB’s can make yards. But it may come down to a numbers game.

A couple weeks ago I wasn’t in favor of signing him, but as a fan of the team I hope I was dead wrong about him and he has a great season for us.

My biggest concern was/is that we drafted two running backs last year, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find a back up running back in the draft.

agreed, I put what happened Thursday on the OL. Whether we keep 3 or 4 rbs on the 53 is the question. If it’s 4 I would actually keep both Strong and Harris and cut the often injured Montgomery.

He can still be effective with limited carries, but it all comes down to how this OL holds up.

I think they are expecting him to make his own hole.

Just like with Mike Gilislee expecting him to run through defenders in obvious running situations.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Cause he's old and croutchity?

Love that movie

People did ask for some OL depth..

I hate telegraphing but he can catch as well…so we got that going for us…

That is all we have at the Harris position though. I don't know...

 

[Ring 6]

Well they don’t need a lot out of him, Rhams the man, Zeke just needs to be a complimentary player to him.

150ish carries.

Have you listened to Zeke talk? I guarantee he's not smart enough to spell Rham.

 

[denverpatsfan]

I like the move.
He still can play.

Yep, that’s it Fat Zeke at RT, once again BB plays chess while others play checkers.

 

[Dedhampatsfan]

Good signing. We have the room for a look at a RB. If he doesn't make the cut no big deal.

After seeing the money I’m mildly surprised they didn’t just pay Harris this offseason. Guess they didn’t feel like they could rely on him to stay healthy and would rather pay more for a guy with a better track record health wise.
