Patriots Player Departure Ezekiel Elliott heads back to Big "D" - Signs with Cowboys

[Wozzy]

Zeke played well for us, but he's getting up there in age. The Cowboys don't have a lot of better RB options.

Plus Kevin Harris looked really good averaging 4 yards a carry behind a dysfunctional offensive line the last four games of last season after Rhamondre went down with injury, also he has the one magical quality they look for in a player... he's cheap as a lunch of hotdogs and chips.

Nope. Starting today, any veteran signed does NOT count against the Comp Pick Calculation. That's Per @Patscap - AKA Miguel.

Too bad.

They also have JaMychal Hasty and Ke'Shawn Vaughn whom they added last year. Not sure how long Hasty is for the team. I could seem them reaching out to Dalvin Cook again. Or keeping an eye on the Jets. I wouldn't be surprised to see Michael Carter (RB) moved or outright cut. Especially with them adding 2 RBs from the draft.

I'm not keen on either of Hasty or Vaughn, but someone needs to play special teams. They could/should add some RB depth some way, either a vet or poach some team's practice squad when the season starts. But they have a nice trio now with Rhamondre/Harris providing thunder and Gibson providing lightning. There's always RB's available after week one, older vets are waiting for jobs and to see who contenders are.

Good never forgot how he alligator armed a perfect pass.

And then the was that time Brady threw a terrible pick, in the Super Bowl.
Never forget, never forgive.

I wouldn't mind seeing Dalvin Cook in here. But there is Boston Scott, Marlon Mack, and Joshua Kelley.

I don't believe that the Pats are going to look at Hunt. From the legal issues to the fact that his former Browns Coach had issues with him. Also, people over-look that AVP knows what he's getting from Hunt.

Running back Kareem Hunt has been solid for the Cleveland Browns over the last several years, but one analyst says it's time to move on.

I think the Pats should get through training camp with what they have, and assuming health they should only roster the big three of Rhamondre, Gibson and Harris... then once they get past the roster paired down to 53 they should add a value vet sitting out there or even wait until they really need a RB. There are always solid vet RB's sitting out there waiting for someone to get injured early in the season.
