Hell use him in 2 back formations in the place of a fullback. A big heavy guy like that who can hit hard, move the pile and isn't afraid to block? Devellin is awesome but Blount can probably do that work if he needs to.He's still coming back
It would have to be on a cheap deal where he's here to compete in TC, much like the suggestion with WR Floyd.
Injuries happen, of course, but we can safely assume that Gilleslee (4m) and Burkhead (3.15m) aren't going anywhere, and White was just extended. Devlin is a huge piece as a FB and the team wasn't the same without him in '15. That leaves Lewis, Foster, and ST ace Bolden, and it's a pretty safe bet that at least one of them makes it.
Blount's 1161 yards were 62 % of the total rushing offense. He had 18 of the 19 rushing TD's.
Can anyone guess who had the other rushing TD?

It depends what he is offered elsewhere though, right?He did a really good job here and for very little money. He deserves to be paid more. I hope someone gives it to him. But no, it won't be with the Patriots.
Great Patriot and invaluable in his time here. Thanks indeed!
Brisket?
From 2013 to 2016 the NEP paid LG $3.5m TOTAL.
Over the 49 games with the team he totalled 2917 yards rushing and 35 TDs scored.
As NEP he was paid $1,200 for every yard earned and $100,000 for every TD he scored.
That is big time Moneyball right there.
Thanks, Tony, for making this amazing tribute. LGB deserved it. This board deserved it as well.
LGB and RB group were sent off to the season with a lot of scepticism from this board. They exceeded all expectations by a large margin. Most of all they were the first group showing that special bond, camaraderie full of joy for each other's success . and that positive energy slowly but surely inflamed the rest of the team.
As much as I loved to see that - and it remains in my memory - I was looking forward to a new RB approach: faster, more versatile and unpredictable.
Can't wait to see the new O go..

Blount is arguably my 2nd favorite Pats RB of the Brady era behind Faulk. Could have easily been passed by Woodhead if he were still here though lol
