Faulk On The Edge

RB Kevin Faulk has indicated that he would like to play one more season. However, it might not be with the Pats as they have not offered him a contract. Perhaps, it will come before the start training camp or not at all. Faulk is one of many players around the league whose time has run out on their career. As much as he wants to play, the decision might be out of his hands.

A review of the roster indicates that the team is not overloaded at the position. Shane Vereen, Danny Woodhead and Ben Vereen are back again. The team lost Benjarvis Green-Ellis to free agency.The recently signed Joseph Addai from the Colts. This might be a great acquisition if he can stay on the field. They also signed UFA Branden Bolden from Mississippi after he was bypassed in the draft. Bolden has a great chance to make the team.

Coach Belichick and Josh McDaniels might have other plans for the backfield with the signing of two veteran full-backs in Tony Fiammetta and Spencer Larsen.

This leaves the team with seven backs if you include the two full-backs. Unless there is an injury, it appears that the Pats are planning to move forward without Faulk. He might be waiting for a call that will never come.
