Patriots Sign Pass-Catching RB Travaris Cadet
The Patriots announced Tuesday the signing of free agent running back Travaris Cadet, formerly of the New Orleans Saints.
The 26-year-old rushed 11 times for 37 yards and caught 45 balls for 345 yards and two touchdowns in three seasons with New Orleans. He also fielded 50 kickoffs for 1,293 yards and two punts for two yards.
The addition of a pass-catching running back would seem to address the departure of Shane Vereen, who signed a free agent contract with the New York Giants after four seasons in New England.
The 6’1’’, 210-pound Cadet was an undrafted free agent out of Appalachian State in 2012. He notched his first career touchdown with a 3-yard catch against the Patriots on Oct. 13, 2013.
