New England doesn\u2019t seem intent on making a move, though Hasty missed practice on Wednesday due to a personal issue, so the need for another body might be there.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Spiller, 23, is the most intriguing candidate to sign. The Los Angeles Chargers selected him in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, though he appeared in just 15 games over the course of two seasons and averaged a whopping 2.5 yards per carry.<\/p>\n<p>New England has a couple of backs on the practice squad in Terrell Jennings and Kevin Harris, so even if an active roster spot opens up, they would fill it. It\u2019s not quite that simple, though.<\/p>\n<p>Intriguing, indeed.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriots were relatively quiet around the trade deadline, but that doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re done making moves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":5415,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
