Following weeks of free agent visits to address the position, the Patriots reportedly added a running back Friday night.
It isn’t one of the big names available like Leonard Fournette or Ezekiel Elliott, who left Foxborough without contracts after their visits. Instead, New England signed former USFL back C.J. Marable, KPRC’s Aaron Wilson reported.
Some believed the Patriots might chase a bigger name back to create a 1-2 punch with Rhamondre Stevenson. It appears Bill Belichick and company have opted for a versatile depth piece instead, at least for now.
