faba Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 took fewer than 48 hours for the New England Patriots to replace injured tight end Aaron Hernandez. According to sources, the Patriots have agreed to a one-year contract with former Pro Bowl tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. More on Winslow to Pats Adding Kellen Winslow was a move the Patriots had to make in order to keep running their two-tight end sets with Aaron Hernandez hurt, ESPN.com's James Walker writes. Blog • ESPN Boston: Reiss on Winslow It is no surprise the Patriots had interest in Winslow. New England brought him in for a visit two weeks ago and kept Winslow on the team's short list. Hernandez suffered a right ankle injury in Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals and is expected to miss at least a month, sources told ESPN on Monday. Winslow brings many of the same skills to the table. He's an athletic tight end with good hands. This also allows New England to continue to run its vaunted two-tight end sets, with Winslow projected to team up with Pro Bowl tight end Rob Gronkowski. Winslow caught 75 passes for 763 yards and two touchdowns last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's averaged 73 receptions for 792.3 yards the past three seasons. He was released by the Seahawks earlier this month. The team originally acquired him in a trade with Tampa Bay in May. His base salary of $3.3 million for the 2012 season would have been guaranteed if he had been on the roster for the season opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I have read that his knee is hamburger and that is why nobody was touching him. Some people said he was lighting up the Seahawks in practice, others said he is done and can't run a lick. There were reports that he had failed his physical, so he's probably still a mess but that didn't stop him from producing before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonehands Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 It is one of those moves that makes sense. He is probably as close as you are going to get to Aaron Hernandez off the street at this point. He will probably be ok in a smaller role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
