The Facts: The New England Patriots are hanging on to Hoomanawanui, who will sign a two-year contract to remain in New England, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday.
Diehards Line:
The Patriots are thin at the tight end position, especially with Rob Gronkowski's health problems last season. Hoomanawanui is a strong blocker, but mediocre in the passing game. Bill Belichick might still add a pass-catching target in the draft.
