We mentioned earlier this week that the Patriots were close to signing veteran Tight End Alge Crumpler. The Patriots announced today that the signing was now official, according to Mike Reiss. Coach Bill Belichek had this to say about Crumpler earlier this week.
Patriots Officially Ink Alge Crumpler
"We have a lot of respect for him as a player. He’s had an outstanding career."
Crumpler was drafted by Atlanta in the second round of the 2001 draft, and became a four-time pro bowler with the Falcons. However, Crumpler is coming off two relatively unspectacular years with the Tennessee Titans. He is now the only Tight End on the Patriots roster who has any regular season playing experience.
