Post of the Day. LMAO

I like him a lot. Solid signing for a 3rd down back.

Excellent signing! He can very easily step in to the Vereen/Woodhead role, or at the very least make James White that much better. Cadet played well against us when we beat the Saints in 2012/2013?. Here's a youtube video of highlights from the HOF game his rookie year, the same year we had joint practices with the Saints in Foxboro.

I love this signing

I didn't even know this guy was a free agent? Never even saw him mentioned on here either? How did he slip under our radar? This is a great signing. He's more than capable of replacing Vereen.

@nick_underhill: I'm told Cadet received a two-year deal from the Patriots.

How come he wasn't on anyone's radar?

He can do everything Vereen did, including line up outside and catch

Bizarre, we're all talking about Bush, Thomas etc and Belichick as usual is way ahead of all of us.

Hes 30th out of 32 FA RBs on WalterFootball.

Guess you gotta read the fine print

Billdog3484 can go back under his rock now ..........

Best part is everyone will be butchering his name just as much as Vereen's.

Reminds me of Woodhead's career arc. Cadet spent 3 years on a team buried on a depth chart (was never more than the backup receiving back and only carried the ball 11 times) and hopefully goes to NE to break out.

Good, well that solves that. I hope he can replace Vereen, whose legend seems to grow by the hour in Patriots Nation. I liked Vereen a lot, but I never thought he was a special talent. Hopefully Cadet can step into that role.

Is there something to the "but"? Is the clustering perhaps a positive? Was he subbing for an injured player that time, maybe?

Didn't Ingram get dinged a bit?

Interesting move. I thought about him, but I thought that the team would've went with a more experienced back since they already had James White on the team.. But, this should work. James White vs. Travaris Cadet 2015

Trevors Codel... very easy, not sure what you mean..

Ahh… The optimism in this thread for this guy is sort of perplexing, but maybe I'm wrong and he's not just another dude. I definitely don't see a Vareen replacement here, but hopefully I'll eat those words.

What's the deal with Ridley? Is he coming back or what?
