So we're looking for a running back because Morris looked like he took one pretty bad and his status is unknown for the next few games and Maroney is banged up as well.
People have said Kevan Barlow, Tatum Bell, Verron Haynes, Justin Fargas, and even suggested ringing up Corey Dillon to bring him back out of retirement or trading for Ricky Williams pending reinstatement.
But what about another guy who the Pats could pick out of the left field bleachers to suit up in the backfield?
I'm talking about Tiki Barber.
Unlike Dillon, Barber retired at the top of his game. Unfortunately, his rights are still owned by the Giants, so it would take a trade to pry him away, but the Giants would take anything they can get for his rights at this point; if Tiki wants to come back and play, I'd rather give up a late pick for him than Tatum Bell. Tiki has said he won't come back and play for the Buccaneers with his brother, but what if he had an awesome chance to add a Super Bowl ring to his television studio wardrobe? Would he do it?
Could the Patriots be on the phone with Tiki and the Giants right now, trying to work out a deal before tomorrow's deadline? I doubt it, but it wouldn't be a bad fit at all, and it's fun to imagine.
