Makes a lot of sense considering they are only paying him 1.7 million next year. Holt will be 34 in June, but he has caught 115 passes for 1518 yards over the last 2 years despite playing with Marc Bulger and David Garrard as his quarterbacks so it’s not hard to imagine Holt putting up solid #2 numbers with Tom Brady at quarterback. A #2 receiver is much needed in town with Wes Welker’s knee injury and the uncertainty surrounding it and good job by the Pats getting one for cheap.
