Watching the Patriots group of receivers struggle Monday night without Rob Gronkowski apparently sparked the team to make a change on Monday.
According to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Patriots are signing WR Kenny Britt to a 2-year deal, adding the former Rutgers receiver after he cleared waivers following the Browns waiving him last Friday.
It’s a solid move for New England, with the 6’3″ Britt bolstering a group who last night couldn’t get much going with their fellow tight end sidelined. It was a rough night as Chris Hogan, Brandin Cooks and Danny Amendola each failed to make much of an impact against a physical Dolphins defense that held the offense to a frustrating 0-for-11 on third down.
