...Taylor will join a very crowded New England backfield that already includes Kevin Faulk, Benjarvus Green-Ellis, Sammy Morris and Lawrence Maroney...

Lot of competition in NE it appears.
I'm glad the Vikes have two good backs and that's not an issue for the time being.

Fred will have to spell Maroney, and hell he may have to fight for a roster spot. Faulk will be the third down guy. The Patriots sure like a heavy dose of veterans on their squad.

Good pickup Taylor still has skills.

Excellent pick up.. Who will they get rid of?

Maroney and Fred I would stick with for 1 and 2

I am sure maroney, Faulk and taylor will all see playing time this year. They had injury problems that left them thin there last year so i am sure they don't want to see a repeat.
