Patriots sign ex-Jaguars RB Fred Taylor (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Running back Fred Taylor has signed with the New England Patriots after spending 11 seasons with Jacksonville. Taylor was cut by the Jaguars in a salary-cup move. On Friday, he joined a team in which running back Laurence Maroney has been bothered by injuries for most of his career. The 33-year-old Taylor ran for more than 11,000 yards with Jaguars and is 16th on the career rushing list.
