    Patriots sign Te Jake Ballard from the giants

    the giants cut him yesterday and were planning on resigning him. They cut him because he couldn't pass his physical. Hell he got injured in the superbowl, of course he couldn't yet.

    Patriots signed him today to a 1 year 540 k contract

    Do the patriots really need him? Probably used for run blocking only? Or so he can tell them the giants play book and thy can finally beat the giants?

    good signing for them, 540k that seems like a bargain despite coming off the injury

    Jake must be pretty dumb to not realize he isnt gonna get playing time. hes not a great run blocker so Pats have no use for him other than keeping him away from Giants

    totally forgot about this. Ballard won't even play this year anyway..

    The Giants were hoping that Ballard would clear waivers and then be placed on the team's PUP/reserve list. He is expected to miss this season while he recovers from microfracture knee surgery and a torn ACL suffered in the Super Bowl. However, the team was high on Ballard, who had a breakout season last year before being slowed by injuries down the stretch of the season.

    Jake Ballard is about as average as it gets......Not a big deal here

    He has a lot of heart. He wanted to get back onto the field at the super bowl even though he was injured.
