Patriots Interest In Maurice Jones-Drew?

[strngplyr]

Update....

Good. I liked MJD but i think his issues are more than just an awful OL recently. I think the injury took its toll.

Rumor is also that he's asking for something like 3.5m/year? No thanks.

Stick to either Moreno or Blount. McDaniels liked Moreno enough to take him 12th over or something like that and Blount knows the system and we've seen that he's capable in our system.

I went to The Hall at Patriot Place today and I was told that MJD was visiting today.

Other than Moreno, Blount and MJD, there isn't a whole lot available in free agency at RB.

Barstool Sports has gotten more stuff right about the Patriots Free Agency than Curran has. They broke the Browner signing, LaFell signing, and the Wilfork extension.

new Raiders running back Maurice Jones-Drew said in an interview with Mad Dog Sports Radio that his final decision came down to the Patriots, Steelers and, of course, Oakland.

I suspect that discussions ended when MJD wanted more than a one year .
deal.

I think we'll have to look at the draft to try and get a decent backup
