Patriots Could Part Ways With Disappointing RB

The New England Patriots made a couple of moves in an attempt to fortify their backfield last offseason, signing Rhamondre Stevenson to an extension and adding Antonio Gibson in free agency.

Neither move really paid any sort of dividends, as the Patriots' rushing attack was more spearheaded by quarterback Drake Maye than either of the two running backs.

Gibson wasn't awful this season, rushing for 538 yards and one touchdown while averaging 4.5 yards per carry. He also added 23 catches for 206 yards.

However, he wasn't the all-purpose back New England was hoping for when it signed him to a two-year deal, which is why Michael Ginnitti of Spotrac has listed Gibson as a potential cut candidate.
