Signed: Patriots acquire WR Greg Lewis from Eagles

Greg-lewis_medium

According to Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe, the Patriots have signed Eagles WR Greg Lewis in a trade for a 5th round draft pick.  Here's a bit about Lewis' salary situation:

Lewis, 29, has spent the first six years of his career with the Eagles. He has three years remaining on his current contract, which the Patriots would inherit in a trade (barring a restructure/renegotiation). He is scheduled to earn $650,000 in 2009, $670,000 in 2010 and $725,000 in 2011.

The speedy Lewis (6-0, 180) totaled 19 receptions for 247 yards last season, with one touchdown.

After free agent WR Jabar Gaffney signed with Denver, there was a hole at #3.  At 6-0, 180 he fits nicely, physical-wise, between Welker and Moss and will most likely be used in those 10-20 yarder sideline routes that Moss looks so uncoordinated at.  I wouldn't be surprised if we saw more WR's brought into training camp; Belichick likes to load the roster, work 'em, and figure out who's a good fit.

[EDITORS NOTE] Mad props to Pie McKenzie's FanPost.  He beat me to this news and I missed it before publishing this story.

used to watch him live on Saturdays...

…here in Champaign when he played for Illinois. Seems to be able to stretch and play taller than his 6’0" body, not #1 material but seems well suited for our slot receiver needs. Probably a bit overrated on his speed, but I think a good fit. Affordable too.

the passing of the nickname torch

Such an honor to receive it.

Nickname

Henceforth, all of my posts shall refer to Greg Lewis as “His Glewness” or Mr. Glew or Glew…

Cool nickname!

All of those adjectives on the bottle could apply to most Patriots...

…“multi-purpose”, “bonds strong”, “for all your needs”, and especially the all-important anti-T.O. factor – “safe, non-toxic”

Keep the faith!
