Fri, 22 Mar 2013 08:01:07 -0700
Updating previous reports, San Diego Chargers RB Danny Woodhead signed a two-year, $3.5 million deal with $1 million guaranteed. He received a $1 million signing bonus and will make $750,000 in 2013 and $1.75 million in 2014. If Woodhead plays at least 50 percent of the offensive snaps in either season, he earns an additional $100,000 for that season. If he plays at least 60 percent of the offensive snaps in either season, he earns an additional $200,000 for that season. That brings the maximum value of the deal to two years and $3.9 million.

New England Patriots impending free-agent RB Danny Woodhead said he has not thought about free agency yet and probably will not for a few more weeks. "Really, I haven't really thought about it," Woodhead said. "It's only a week and a half out about, and I still just haven't thought about it. It will play out later on. It's a month away, so it's not something I've really thought about and probably won't think about for a little while." Woodhead said he really enjoys being a member of the Patriots.
Sun, 27 Jan 2013 19:08:45 -0800
New England Patriots RB Shane Vereen has shown flashes of athleticism, speed and pass-catching ability, even though he played just 13 percent of the snaps in 2012. Fellow RB Danny Woodhead is set to become a free agent, so Vereen could be in line for a larger role next season if Woodhead is not brought back.
Sun, 27 Jan 2013 19:08:16 -0800
Impending free-agent RB Danny Woodhead (Patriots) is likely to be on the team's radar for a return in 2013, but he might be lured elsewhere in free agency if he is not re-signed before March.

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 05:12:34 -0800

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 05:00:48 -0800
New England Patriots RB Shane Vereen played in 38 of the team's 66 offensive snaps in the AFC Divisional Round. In the regular season, Vereen had been averaging 9.8 snaps per game; however, his increase in playing time came after RB Danny Woodhead (thumb) was knocked out on the first play with a thumb injury.

Wed, 19 Dec 2012 14:06:00 -0800
New England Patriots RB Stevan Ridley was on the field for only 19 of 96 offensive snaps in Week 15, but that was mainly due to the fact that New England was down multiple scores and RB Danny Woodhead was the better option with the team needing to pass more often. RB Shane Vereen was on the field for only one play in the second quarter, fumbled, and was benched. RB Brandon Bolden has been used strictly on special teams since he returned from injury.
Sun, 16 Dec 2012 22:48:18 -0800
New England Patriots RB Danny Woodhead had 12 carries for 61 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 15 loss against the San Francisco 49ers, and he chipped in with five receptions for 23 yards.

Wed, 05 Dec 2012 10:58:33 -0800
New England Patriots RB Danny Woodhead, RB Brandon Bolden, WR Donte' Stallworth and TE Aaron Hernandez could be options to return some punts since WR Julian Edelman (foot) will miss the rest of the season. WR Wes Welker is expected to be the main punt returner for the rest of the season.

Mon, 24 Sep 2012 04:52:04 -0700
With the New England Patriots pressing the issue with the no-huddle offense in Week 3, it called on RB Danny Woodhead getting the majority of the snaps over RB Stevan Ridley at running back. Woodhead is considered a better option as a third down/passing back.
Sun, 23 Sep 2012 22:50:36 -0700
New England Patriots RB Danny Woodhead had a team-best 15 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens, and he added a nine-yard reception. RB Stevan Ridley was held to 37 rushing yards on 13 carries, and he did not record any catches.

Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:01:20 -0700
New England Patriots RB Stevan Ridley continues to look like the back most likely to handle the majority of the running back workload. RB Shane Vereen, also a second-year back, is still trying to work his way into a groove. Veteran Danny Woodhead appears as if he will continue to be the team's change-of-pace back.
Mon, 23 Jul 2012 20:20:44 -0700
New England Patriots RB Joseph Addai was reportedly not very impressive during the team's offseason program, and he might not be on the roster bubble. It sounds like Addai needs a strong training camp and preseason if he wants to leapfrog RBs Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen and Danny Woodhead, among others.
Mon, 23 Jul 2012 20:19:57 -0700
New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels favors the screen game, which works in the favor of RB Danny Woodhead. The diminutive back saw a decrease in touches last season, but his ability to catch out of the backfield will help his cause.
Wed, 04 Jul 2012 11:51:05 -0700
New England Patriots RB Danny Woodhead could lose some reps this season if RB Shane Vereen emerges as a consistent contributor on offense.
Thu, 21 Jun 2012 23:45:00 -0700
It appears the New England Patriots will rely on second-year RBs Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley as their top runners in 2012. However, the pair has more questions surrounding them than answers right now. Vereen had just 15 carries as a rookie because of injury problems and Ridley had fumble problems in consecutive games last year, which led to a quick hook from the field. The team has veteran RBs Joseph Addai and Danny Woodhead on roster and they may, as reported, have interest in re-signing RB Sammy Morris.
Sun, 17 Jun 2012 19:04:36 -0700
The New England Patriots must rely on their running game this season to complement the passing attack. However, it is still very uncertain who will carry the load heading into training camp. RBs Joseph Addai, Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen and Danny Woodhead combine for nine career starts for the Patriots. None have stood out on their own in offseason workouts, and the team might be hoping for strength by committee. "We're not really focused on who's going to be the guy or anything like that; we're just trying to help each other out and learn together," Ridley said. "One person is not going to get it done all the way through the season and we know that, so we have to be able to depend on everybody."
Thu, 31 May 2012 13:44:17 -0700

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 17:21:48 -0700

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 23:33:10 -0800

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 18:32:50 -0800
New England Patriots RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis is not unhappy with his part in what has turned into a running back by committee approach by head coach Bill Belichick. "Whatever it is, we're just gonna go out there and try to win the game," Green-Ellis said Tuesday, Dec. 20. "That's the ultimate goal. From the backfield standpoint, all five of us are ready to go out there and contribute to get a 'W'. This is not an individual sport." In the Week 15 game against the Denver Broncos, he shared most of the carries with RBs Danny Woodhead and Stevan Ridley.
