Patriots Need to Land Leonard Fournette Contract amid Dalvin Cook, NFL Rumors

The New England Patriots held a workout with free agent running back Leonard Fournette on Wednesday, though the Patriots did not sign the 28-year-old to a contract.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, New England will instead monitor the former Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers starter.

"He visited and worked out for New England," Rapoport said on NFL Total Access (h/t NESN's Keagan Stiefel). "That was today, and my understanding is despite the fact they did not immediately sign him—certainly this is something they will keep tabs on in the future."

Perhaps, New England is waiting to see if they can land free agent and 2022 Pro Bowler Dalvin Cook before turning back to Fournette.
