Blount Boxed In

LeGarrette Blount probably wished he had taken a deal from another team if offered. At the last minute on Thursday, the Pats extended him a free agent tender. They can either match the offer from another team or let him go and get a compensatory draft pick.

This doesn't sound bad at first, but if Blount isn't signed by training camp, he will only be able to take the deal that the Pats offered.

It was a great move by the Pats to get an extra draft pick, but did nothing to help Blount.
