The Patriots are bringing back an important veteran presence to help Mac Jones and the offense.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday the team has preliminarily agreed to terms with running back James White on a two-year, $2.5 million deal.
The 30-year-old White returns to Foxborough after suffering a season-ending hip injury in New England’s loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 3 last year. Before that, he appeared to be back to his old productive self after a down 2020, totaling 132 yards (94 receiving, 38 rushing) and a touchdown on the ground before going down against the Saints.
