It's kind of a bummer to see what's happened to the RB position. Just in the way they've been devalued, the abuse they take and the shortening of their careers as a result. Lot's of good ones on the market this offseason.. Unlikely more than1 or 2 of em get paid though.
Instead of looking to see if Elliot has another year of tread on his tires, the Patriots should be looking to add one of these top level RBs, to pair up with Stevenson.
Pollard has proven that he can't carry the load as a lead back.. but he's a really good change of pace, speed guy.
Looks as if the NFL might be getting something with the rules correct for the first time in a long while:
It is an NFL rule that has pained many ball carriers, thrilled defenses and caused a lot of controversy over the years. The league ruling is that if a ball is fumbled into the end zone and out of bounds, it is a touchback and the team that was on defense now gets possession of the ball.
NFL competition committee sees no need to change rule on fumbling through end zone, per report

NFL competition committee sees no need to change rule on fumbling through end zone, per report
The NFL adopted new rules for fair catches on kickoffs last year and one of the league's top executives said Monday that there will be another proposed change coming this year.
Executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent said that there is "no question" that a proposal is coming this offseason. Last year's rule change, which gave teams the ball at the 25-yard-line if they called a fair catch inside the 25, led to just 22 percent of kickoffs being returned and the league's goal is to see that number go up.
“We know we won’t go back into what we saw last year, when it became a ceremonial play," Vincent said, via Judy Battista of NFL Media.
The NFL made last year's change to limit the number of concussions on kickoffs and the question for the Competition Committee and teams is what change they can make to increase returns without seeing a rise in head injuries. One idea has been to borrow the XFL's approach to kickoffs, but that is not believed to have enough support from teams — 24 votes are needed to adopt a new rule — to pass.
Last year's rule change was made on a one-year basis, so the kickoff will revert to 2022 rules in the event no change is approved this offseason.

They are so desperate, because they've so badly botched kickoffs, that they're looking at copying what was done by a rival league.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Pats sign him for vet's minimum. Denver's paying him big money for next season.more like "russell wilson's guaranteed money stinks"...
Russell Wilson's best team fits now that Broncos are moving on

Wilson might be my least favorite QB in the league
I hear Joe Flacco's going to be available, and he's got experience with the Browns....

Not a surprise. Some team will give him a shot hoping they can fix him.
