The Facts: Blount may be getting a little antsy about remaining a free agent, despite having a strong year for the Patriots last season. Blount was at a Boston Celtics game last night and shared a hug with Patriots owner Robert Kraft, but he also wondered aloud why he isn't getting the kind of contract offer he wants. "See, tell them I still got it. Give me some money," Blount said, via Chris Mannix of Yahoo Sports.
Diehards Line:
As PFT notes, several running backs are still waiting for some money this offseason. The running back market is soft, and if Blount is disappointed that an 18-touchdown season last year isn’t enough for him to get a big deal in free agency, it’s hard to blame him. But the average running back last season earned $1.6 million. So while somebody will ultimately give Blount some money, it won't be as much as he wants.
