He'd be signed right now if he'd lower his standards and contract expectations. Instead, he's being selective by looking to sign with a SB contender for good money. That might not happen, and if it does, he may have to wait awhile. I think Rex has solid hands, but saying catching wasn't a strength for AP is relative. AP has 244 career receptions, averaging 31 catches per 16 games played. Burkhead has 34 career catches. Take from that what you will.
Nice post, i cannot argue with the facts.
Just don't understand someone saying Burkhead is not a good receiver out of the backfield.
This is exactly the type of player the Patriots turn into studs.
Plus i could be wrong but i don't see AP fitting in in New England myself. We will see.
