Patriots bolster backfield with veteran Haskins and Hasty
The New England Patriots signed veteran running backs Hassan Haskins and JaMycal Hasty ahead of the preseason, waiving Myles Montgomery to IR and strengthening depth behind the presumptive starters Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. Both veterans offer versatile, multi‑role ability—Haskins as a bigger, pass-catching and pass-protecting back with return ability, Hasty as a multi‑dimensional contributor with past time in Foxboro—under familiar coaching trees (Vrabel and Belichick). The moves carry modest one‑year cap hits and leave several roster spots to be contested as the 53‑man roster takes shape.
