James White gets a 3 year contract extension

Reason to post this:

Day of big news continues. Great news actually. Wonder what this means for Dion Lewis.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Wow I was way off

 

[patsinthesnow]

I'm believing more now the theory that Lewis could be included in a Butler trade to NOLA.

BB bucking his trend again? He let Woodhead & Vereen go but kept White.

Good to have sweet feet back.

White has sure come a long way. And very well deserved.

In the beginning of the FA, all of our RBs were in the last year of their contracts

Now we have 3 signed through 2018 at least (considering Gillelsee is coming). edit - my bad, Burkhead is not signed through 2018, so it's only 2 RB.

That didn't take long.

I'll just leave this here:

Patriots extend offer to Bills RFA RB Mike Gillislee

Who's the 3rd. Gillislee, White and...? I wonder if you think Burkhead is. Unfortunately, at least for now, he isn't. DJ Foster is however.

Lewis won't go anywhere, this season he will be a year removed from tearing acl, I expect Lewis to return to '15 form if not as close to it as ever this season

It was so nice of Bill to leave us with only beating the dead horses of trading Garrapolo and Butler as news for most of the off season and then give us a boatload to talk about a week before the draft.

Loving it. But, count me among the "surprised". Not because I don't want White, quite the contrary, but I understood BB's usual way : keep the "3rd down back" for the rookie deal & move on.

BB never ceases to amaze. I love this signing.

 

[patfanken]

WOW, this one surprises me. I wonder how much it is for? I was actually wondering today, if they could get a 2nd rounder for him, since his value is never going to get higher than right now.

Evidently they decided to make him the next Kevin Faulk, without the running ability. He can obviously catch the ball, and has made himself into a very good pass blocker. He's just ANOTHER Patriot player who has made himself a long Patriot career by become a "dependable" player. Good for him. I am happy he made me wrong over and over again last season.

I hope Lewis is back

JAMES WHITE!!!

 

[manxman2601]

Bear in mind this was the guy they thought showed LaDanian Tomlinson signs in his first pre-pad workouts. Maybe they think there's still more to come from him.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Well deserved.

James Whiiiiiiiiiiiiite!!

 

[102 Pat]

And the day of good news out of Foxboro continues.

 

[manxman2601]

Or maybe it's just this...

Dont get Crazy Manx hahahaha

 

[manxman2601]

So if Gillislee signs, I think it's pretty much a foregone conclusion they're not drafting a RB. That's a hot take btw

Unless, of course, they draft Joe Mixon at 32 just for the shock value.

 

[Mack Herron]

I love Lewis but he sure looks like the odd man out.
