On Thursday, the New England Patriots made their first free agency addition on the offensive side of the ball. According to multiple reports, the team has added running back/wide receiver-hybrid Ty Montgomery on a two-year contract with a maximum value of $4 million.
Montgomery becomes only the second outside free agent signed so far this week, joining cornerback Terrance Mitchell who was added on Wednesday. Like Mitchell, Montgomery will likely not be a lock to make the roster.
