The New England Patriots are busy filling the open spots on their 80-man roster, and on Monday brought three players on board to come within one of the threshold: after reportedly signing tight end Jordan Leggett and defensive tackle Darius Kilgo earlier on Monday, the team added veteran running back Lamar Miller to the equation later that same day following a free agency workout.
The move is similar to the Patriots’ trade for cornerback Michael Jackson on Sunday. Running back was already one of the deepest positions on the roster even a) after Brandon Bolden decided to opt out of the season, and b) without Miller, but now has another layer of depth added to it at what projects to be a comparatively moderate price.
