Brandon Bolden plans to be back with the New England Patriots in 2021.
Bolden, one of eight Patriots players to opt out of the 2020 NFL season due to COVID-19 concerns, announced on social media Tuesday that he intends to play next season.
“For everyone asking,” the veteran running back wrote, “(expletive) yea I’ll be back.”
Bolden has spent seven of his eight NFL seasons with the Patriots, who signed him as an undrafted rookie in 2012. He’s been a core special teamer and occasional offensive contributor, scoring a career-high four touchdowns in 2019.
