While quarterback, offensive tackle, and wide receiver were — and still are — the New England Patriots’ most prominent needs heading into the offseason, the running back position also had plenty of room for investments. The team, after all, was lacking a true receiving option to complement Rhamondre Stevenson.
The Patriots feel that Antonio Gibson can be just that. A former third-round draft pick by the Washington Commanders, Gibson arrived in New England via a three-year, $11.25 million free agency deal earlier this month.
And as a look at the details of this contract shows, his new club is very much committed to him as its next receiving back.
