Veteran running back Kevin Faulk has been re-signed by the New England Patriots. Faulk, a 1999 draft pick out of LSU, has played his entire career with New England, the 13-year veteran played in just two games last season before tearing his ACL.
He said today that before the lockout he was contacted by head coach Bill Belichick who told him he wanted him on his team in 2011.
Faulk reiterated today that he was going to play for the Patriots or no one in 2011. His contract terms were not disclosed but it is believed to be a one-year contract.
The Patriots also announced the signing of free agent DL Steve Williams. Williams played the last two seasons in the Canadian Football League with the British Columbia Lions.
An undrafted free agent in 2006, Williams signed with the Kansas Chiefs with whom he has his only NFL playing experience. Williams has also spent time on the roster of the Carolina Panthers and the New England Patriots.
Williams signed with the Patriots in May 2009 and was part of the last roster cut made by the club that September. He then went on to the CFL
