It looks like a big contributor for the Patriots is heading west.
According to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, running back Brandon Bolden is set to reunite with former Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels out in Las Vegas and is expected to sign with the Raiders.
Bolden had a career year in 2021 after stepping in for an injured James White, who went down early in the season with a hip injury. White recently re-signed with the team on a 2-year deal, which likely meant Bolden’s time as a third-down back was obviously over, leaving him to go back to another year as a backup, as well as his role on special teams.
