The New England Patriots sent a fifth round pick to the Buffalo Bills for the rights to sign restricted free agent RB Mike Gillislee. Gillislee averaged 5.7 yards per carry for the Bills over the past two seasons and projects to take over for LeGarrette Blount in the Patriots offense.
While Gillislee is in the middle of a crash course of the offense, he has the benefit of having experience playing in a similar offense back in 2011. Gillislee spoke with the Patriots team media about his adjustments and offseason plans with the Patriots.
