Veteran wide receiver has a lot of ground to make up in little time
The Patriots signed a one-year deal with veteran wide receiver Reggie Wayne on Monday. He has long been a player that Bill Belichick has respected and now will join the Patriots after a long, productive career with the Indianapolis Colts.
Season ending injuries to Brian Tyms and Brandon Gibson coupled with a lingering ankle issue to Julian Edelman and Brandon LaFell’s status (PUP), have put the Patriots in a position where their depth has been stretched very thin.
In a move that if Wayne makes the roster, will throw added fuel to the fire between New England and Indianapolis, Belichick clearly still believes he can be productive.
