I'm excited to hopefully see Rex finally get a few more touches. Just a heads up, the Bills declined to match the Pats' offer sheet for restricted free agent RB Mike Gillislee.

The Buffalo Bills decided not to match the New England Patriots' offer sheet to running back Mike Gillislee on Monday.
Gillislee's deal with the Patriots is for two years and worth $6.4 million, including $4 million in the first year, sources told ESPN. The Bills had five days to decide whether to match the offer sheet.
Buffalo will receive a fifth-round draft pick from New England as compensation. The Bills assigned Gillislee the original-round restricted free-agent tender, worth $1.797 million for one year. Gillislee was selected in the fifth round by the Miami Dolphins in 2013.
The Patriots now have six picks in this week's draft -- two third-rounders and single picks in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds.
It is now unlikely the Patriots will re-sign free-agent running back LeGarrette Blount, who led the NFL with 18 rushing touchdowns, the highest total since Adrian Peterson had 18 in 2009. Blount was the Patriots' top running back, totaling 1,161 yards on 299 carries in the regular season.
