 Limited Rex Burkhead Jersey , the New England Patriots signed running back James White to a three-year extension valued at $12 million, with an additional $1 million available every year if he could reach certain performance incentives. White was set to earn an additional $250,000 if could reach the following milestones: 1) 50% of offensive snaps; 2) 60% of offensive snaps; 3) 1,000 total yards; and 4) 1,200 total yards.White did not have these same incentives last year, which represented the last season of his rookie contract, but he came up short in every category with 600 yards from scrimmage and 39.0% of offensive snaps. Lewis battled Rex Burkhead and Dion Lewis for time on the field, but that is no longer the case in 2018.Through 7 games Josh Gordon Jersey , White already has 569 total yards, which puts him on pace for 1,301 yards from scrimmage- easily reaching half of his incentives. He’s also played 53.8% of the offensive snaps, clearing one more incentive- and the longer Sony Michel is sidelined with a knee injury, the more likely White is to clear the 60% playing time incentive.But despite these incentives being within reach, White isn’t changing his approach to the game.If the reports of Michel’s return in a couple weeks are true, then White might be asked to be the primary ball-carrier in the short-term instead of having the team add a different player like Kenneth Farrow to the active roster. White currently ranks 11th in yards from scrimmage for all running backs and his seven touchdowns are tied for fourth, behind only Todd Gurley Authentic Phillip Dorsett Jersey Salute to Service , Kareem Hunt, and Melvin Gordon. He’s certainly making the most of his opportunities on the field and if he clears these incentives, White will be worth every penny The New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills find themselves in the middle of a defensive prime time battle – and both teams have suffered hits in quarter three: Buffalo starting linebacker Tremaine Edmunds left the game due to a concussion and will not return. Meanwhile, New England linebacker Elandon Roberts and starting right guard Shaq Mason also had to exit the game. Both are questionable to return.Roberts is dealing with a groin injury and left for the locker room early in the third period. He has since returned to the sideline but not yet re-entered the game. With Dont’a Hightower declared out for the game due to a knee injury, special teamer Nicholas Grigsby entered the field in place of Roberts. Mason, on the other hand, suffered a calf injury and was replaced in the lineup by veteran backup Ted Karras.[UPDATE] Elandon Roberts has returned to the field.
