Patriots sign Holt to one-year contract Posted: April 20th, 2010
It wasn’t too long ago that free agent WR Torry Holt stopped by the NFL Network and discussed the best fits for a potential new team. A day before the NFL Draft, Holt now has that new team.

NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora reports that Holt has signed a one-year, $1.7 million contract with the New England Patriots, according to a league source.

Holt, 33, had interest from a handful of teams following his release from the Jaguars, but put priority on joining a winning team with an elite quarterback that, most importantly, was respected around the league. It sounds like he got his wish with the Patriots, who always seemed like a good fit.

The Patriots have a need at receiver with questions still surrounding the health status of slot receiver Wes Welker. Holt now provides a veteran opposite Randy Moss for the Patriots, who also recently brought back veteran David Patten.

And now I'm going to go throw up.

I'm sure his thought process was....

1. It would be nice to have championship "bookends" to my career
2. The price is right
3. Ike did sign with the *****.

If this was 2003 then the pats would have the best receiver tandem ever.

i don't know about the rest of you but I am very upset that Holt signed with the Patriots. This is team that beat us in a Superbowl we should have one. (Spygate Maybe). whats going on? nobody else wants him. he may be slowing down but still one of the best route runners in the gam.

New England is probably the likeliest of his several suitors to win a Super Bowl next season. (And yes, he had several teams inquiring). If you want to close out your career with a bang, why not sign there.

I doubt that anyone dislikes the Cheatriots any more than me, but I will support Holt no matter where he goes.

I think I will just go in a corner and cry now. Seeing the man who made me become a Rams fan wearing the jersey of the team that cheated us out of a superbowl is sickening.

why doesn't isaac bruce come out of retirement and join the patsys

[fliptalianstallion]

Heh, I would yell at Belicheat's face if I was in Holt's shoes right now (seeing that he got cheated by them during that ugly time). I'd rather see him with the Jets but it ain't going to happen.

Very few players have undying loyalty to a particular team and even fewer players have a burning hatred for other teams like we fans do. It's a business. Time we learned that.
