Kevin Faulk Still a Patriot

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

The Patriots and Kevin Faulk have agreed to contract terms, according to multiple reports. Entering his 13th year, Faulk is still an invaluable leader and contributor running and catching the ball. Faulk had over 600 all-purpose yards in 2009 and scored 3 touchdowns.

Faulk should now be able to retire a Patriot. Contract details have yet to be released.
