They can have him, if he somehow makes their 53 I highly doubt he replaces Vareen

Why in the world would anyone think thats why they signed him?

He's a 4th/5th string RB who plays all of the special teams units. Its all he was here and its probably all he'll be in New England.

I'm pretty sure they don't think they just signed Demarco Murray.

Vereen started as a 4/5th running back because they had Faulk when Vereen came along

New England signed him for the same reason he was on this team.

He's a 4th/5th RB who plays special teams well and can contribute as a 3rd down back.

Cadet = special teams. He's too small and not fast enough to be RB - but he can come in as relief in a pinch. I think Loomis and Saints didn't see enough value to sign him. He was replaceable.

We didn't place a tender on him, making him unrestricted. At least I think that's how it works.

Restricted Free Agent - Wikipedia Receive one or more draft picks

In the National Football League, a Restricted Free Agent (RFA) is one with three accrued seasons (six or more regular season games with a team) of service, who has received a "qualifying" offer (a salary level predetermined by the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the league and its players, known as a "tender") from his current club.

He can negotiate with any club through a certain date. If the restricted free agent accepts an offer sheet from a new club, his old club has "right of first refusal," a five-day period in which it may match the offer and retain him, or choose not to match the offer, in which case it may receive one or more draft picks for the upcoming draft from the player's new club. If an offer sheet is not executed, the player's rights revert to his old club the day after negotiations must end. :shock:

No tender. :bs:

He must be a masochist...

Only a masochist would want to play RB for Belichick...

He must have the worst agent imaginable because who goes to Boston to play RB to 'improve their stock'?!?

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Patriots have found a Shane Vereen replacement, signing former Saints RB Travaris Cadet, as @FieldYates reported. Saints couldn't afford him


I'm just gonna leave this here.

Evan Woodberry absolutely correct on twitter

Even had the Saints tendered Walker and Cadet they would have got no comp picks as they both were undrafted. Explains why we didn't bother with Walker as if he got anything over minimum he probably wasnt coming back.

I wish Cadet all the best but he never really made himself a must have.

Good for him.

The Saits will probably sign an UDFA that turns out to be better. Thats one thing we have been good at over time.

That statement is why I didn't buy that we had a bad scouting department as much as we had a bad evaluation and decision making process with regards to draft management...

This will open the door for Edwin Baker to have a shot. He might surprise some people.

On the offensive side of the ball I'll agree, defense not so much that's why Ireland was brought on board

I loved him out of the gate but he seemed to hit his ceiling. So, buh bye.

They signed him to pick his brain about Payton's schemes and playbook.
