FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Free agent running back Ezekiel Elliott posted on social media Monday that he is signing with the New England Patriots.
Elliott tweeted, "One Five, all the way live ! @Patriots," referencing his plans to wear jersey No. 15, the number he wore in college while playing for Ohio State.
Elliott agreed to terms with the Patriots on a one-year deal, helping address one of the thinnest positions on the roster, a source confirmed to ESPN. Elliott's one-year deal with the Patriots includes a $3 million base salary, a $1 million signing bonus and can be worth up to $6 million with incentives, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
