While teams around the NFL are making blockbuster deals in free agency, the New England Patriots are moving quietly in the shadows.
The Super Bowl LIII champions made a small move on Thursday afternoon by snagging wide receiver Bruce Ellington on a one-year deal, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Ellington began 2018 with the Houston Texans before being waived on Oct. 31 off of injured reserve following a hamstring injury. The Detroit Lions picked him up, and Ellington caught 23 balls for 132 yards in four games to finish the season.
