The Pats have been addressing some of their issues during the past week. They re-signed Vince Wilfolk and Stephen Neal. Offers are on the table for restricted free-agents Logan Manikins and Stephen Gotskowski.
One player without any suitors is Kevin Faulk. The 12 year veteran has no offer from the Pats or any other team. This is rather odd considering the role he has played over the last 12 seasons. He has been the consummate 3rd down back and has excelled as a returner on special teams.
Has age caught up to him? He will be 34 when training camp starts. Nobody beats a path to a running back of that age. It's interesting to see that Scott Pioli and the Kansas City Chiefs have not come calling. There is also Pete Carroll out in Seattle. He originally drafted Faulk back in 1999 when he was coaching the Pats.
Perhaps the Pats are addressing their immediate issues and waiting to sign Faulk, knowing that they can get him on the cheap for one year.
