RB Taylor visits with Bills, Patriots
February 25, 2009
NFL
Free agent running back Fred Taylor visited the Buffalo Bills yesterday and said he was headed to New England late yesterday for a visit with the Patriots. The 33-year-old Taylor, who has spent his 11-year career with Jacksonville, said he hopes to play 2-3 more years and covets a Super Bowl ring. With LaMont Jordan a free agent, the Patriots have Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk, and Laurence Maroney as their top returning running backs, although with Morris's and Maroney's injuries the last two seasons, Taylor could be seen as an important cog. In other developments, the Patriots will name Vikings assistant coach Chad O'Shea as receivers coach. O'Shea, 36, spent the last three seasons as an offensive assistant.
