Patriots signed WR Jabar Gaffney to a two-year contract.
After only spending a seventh-round pick at the receiver position, the Pats will head into offseason activities with Gaffney, Julian Edelman, Deion Branch, Anthony Gonzalez, and Donte' Stallworth behind starters Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd. Gaffney showed last season that he has plenty left at age 31, setting career bests across the board. Already familiar with the Patriots' offense after spending 2006-2008 in New England and 2009-2010 in Denver with Josh McDaniels, Gaffney won't struggle to make Chad Ochocinco expendable.

The Patriots have a habit of getting rid of players early and bringing them back, only to see them continue to contribute. This is obviously a crowded receiving corps, but the depth and competition should be good for everyone. Typical, smart New England move.
