Patriots re-sign offensive tackle LaAdrian Waddle

The Patriots agreed to terms with Waddle on Thursday, keeping a potential replacement for Nate Solder at left tackle in New England. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the team reached an agreement with the offensive tackle on a one-year deal.

Waddle replaced Marcus Cannon after the right tackle suffered an ankle injury against the Chargers, started four games, then suffered an injury of his own in the divisional round that sidelined him for the AFC Championship and relegated him to special teams for the Super Bowl.
