And he got a two-year contract no less. Surprising considering all the recent noise about his character issues, I don't think he is a good enough running back to make him worth the headaches.

Helluva power backfield with GrayComment -
The Patriots did lose their premiere running back due to injury.
Blount did perform well last year on this team.Comment -
Colts missed out on Tate and Blount
Why do they have faith in Trent?Comment -
Tom Brady has mind control over Blount.Comment -
Blount did OK with the Pat's, I was surprised when thet let him go considering he is not a big money guy. With him Gray and Devlin it's like we have three fulls backs,very unusual in today's NFL. I'm not sure anybody even uses a fullback anymore. Devlin is the only one listed as that.Comment -
he'll do okay thereComment -
It's a league minimum deal with incentives, through his whole career NE was the only place he didn't get into/cause trouble including college. Gray is a good kid with a big heart, but blount is just as big and can outrun people in the open field Gray cannot Love the 2 year signing with Vareen, Ridley and White all being FA's end of this yearComment -
Blounts about 25lbs heavier than Gray..league minimum, knows the offense and pats used him very well, he avgd 5 yds per carry, just a new layer to a dynamic offenseComment -
Guys a rag period he will carry 4 times a game for 2.1 avgComment -
New England will win the big gameComment -
Nice to stockpile where you can have injuries.Comment -
Belichick never should have released Blount in the first place.
As soon as I heard he was cut by Steelers, the first thought in my mind
was for Pats to sign him back, only potential obstacle being would Blount
even agree to it, as he was released by them.
Belichick is lucky that Blount didn't harbour enough ill feelings to turn him down.Comment -
Blount rather win a SBComment -
Patriots passed Blount to Pitts, and Pitt pass Blount back to Pats.. puff puff pass!Comment -
Amendola made fantastic catch to win game vs Jets.
It's not his fault he's not getting enough grabs.Comment -
An absolute waste of a player. Definitely much happier he is gone from Pittsburgh.Comment -
Another option for them when deciding on which backs will be part of weekly gameplan. Likely to step in as kick returner. Plus a minimal deal that is team friendly.Comment -
Pats have 5 RBs on their roster. Colts could have used Blount after losing Bradshaw for the season.Comment -
Very smart by the pats..now they can draft o line and line backers..rbs are tied up through next year..its all a chess game and BB knows that..pats kind of made the first move now other teams need to reactComment -
Two things: you have to hold onto the ball when they throw it to you, and you have to be on the field to get it thrown to you.
He has played in 10 games this year, he has 11 (ELEVEN) receptions on the year for a Whopping 95 yards. He makes an average salary with the Pats of $5,700,000.00. That equates to $518,181.00 per catch. Your hero. LOL.

Good pickup, if he gets out of line they can cut him with hardly any cap impact.Comment -
Probably has a huge game and then sits rest of year.Comment -
Gray sent home for being late to team meeting,interesting to see how this plays out.Comment -
Really not a Patriots fan but I really have to respect that decision. These guys are professionals and professionals need to show up to work on time. If I showed up to work late I would be sent home regardless of my performance. The Patriots could of used Gray at practice but they resisted the temptation and did the right thing.Comment -
BB runs a tight ship
