The Patriots added another receiver Saturday after Julian Edelman, locking up Brandon LaFell to a three-year deal.
After a hot streak seems like there are plenty of Pats fans lukewarm on this signing, but I just see it as business as usual. Another mid-range vet who will be given a chance to compete. Sometimes those players actually are just JAGs, other times they turn into Ninkovich.
You can never tell who will blossom under elite coaching and elite quarterback play. But LaFell has good size and has improved in each of his four seasons.
It’s about competition and depth. How will it turn out? We’ll find out in August.
