According to the Boston Globe, "word is" Joseph Addai wasn't impressive in the Patriots' offensive program. The Globe apparently took the "word" seriously enough that it doesn't project Addai to crack the Patriots' 53-man roster. ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss opined in June that Addai would likely go down as "one of the Patriots' best free agent signings," so there's clearly a difference of opinion on his future in New England. Barring a catastrophically bad preseason, Addai should have an inside track on a roster spot.
