Patriots Sign RB Chris Taylor, Release Richardson
According to WEEI.com, the Patriots have signed free agent running back Chris Taylor. Taylor is a power back who rushed for 99 yards in week 17 of his rookie season.
The Patriots have also released cornerback Mike Richardson. Richardson, a sixth round pick in 2007, was another favorite of mine, although he was a much longer shot to make the roster.
Not really sure about this move. I’ve got to wonder if one of the running backs got bruised up or something, because Taylor will be a longer shot to make the roster. He could also ease some of the veterans of practice reps.
The Patriots also placed RB/WR Shun White on the reserve/military list.

Richardson was 7th on the depth chart. very expendable.
