Galloway signs with Patriots

According to ESPN.com, the New England Patriots and veteran wide receiver Joey Galloway have agreed to a one-year contact.

Although Galloway, 37, was hurt last year in Tampa Bay, he still can stretch the field and corners around the league still must respect his speed.

In 2007, Galloway had 57 catches for 1,014 yards and 6 TDs.

Galloway went for 1,287 yards and 10 TDs in 2005, and was over the 1,000-yard mark in 2006 (1,057 yards, 7 TDs).

The best part about the signing is that the Patriots aren't looking for Galloway to be a No. 1 receiver -- we all know he's not anymore. But Galloway has to be considered one of the best No. 3 receivers in the NFL. Name another third cornerback on any team that has the skills to stay with Galloway step for step.

Just think about it, Patriots fans. Randy Moss, Wes Welker and now Galloway. I think the skill positions on offense are all set. Quarterback Tom Brady is somewhere right now with a big smile on his face. Oh, and don't forget about running back Fred Taylor in the backfield. How do you stop the Patriots? Good luck figuring that out.

Remember, always trust Bill Belichick.
