An update here on the Patriots free agent situation. The story focuses on WR Wes Welker, but there's mention of the running backs and BenJarvus Green-Ellis here.

Kansas City could be a landing spot for Green-Ellis if choose to test the market. The general feeling is that he will.

The Green-Ellis career is a good story about a player from humble beginnings who has made himself valuable in the NFL largely because of his work ethic and his willingness to accept a role less than stardom to help a team function and succeed.

Ultimately, football is business, and the right thing for Green-Ellis moving forward may be a different club. As a non-fumbling, hard worker with a good attitude, he'll have the opportunity.
