What might success look like for Elliott and the Patriots, as Belichick once again adds a veteran on the back end of his career.
“He’ll do great up there,” Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said. “Play-style, alone, I think he’s a really good fit for how they like to play.”
Elliott's one-year deal with the Patriots includes a $3 million base salary and a $1 million signing bonus that can be worth up to $6 million with incentives, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The modest contract provides a guide of sorts as to what the team envisions as a successful stint for Elliott: spell Stevenson when needed and provide veteran leadership to one of the youngest positions on the roster.
Last season, Stevenson played 66% of the snaps and accounted for 57% of the team’s rushing yards, which was the highest share by a Patriots running back since 2016 whenBlount, of course, is another reminder of Belichick capitalizing on an opportunity to land a running back whose stock wasn’t as high as it once was.
