Free agent running back Mike Gillislee has "been in contact" with the New England Patriots, Doug Kyed of NESN reports.
Gillislee was cut by the Patriots over the summer, before signing with the Saints. He was subsequently released by New Orleans after an unproductive 4-game stint.
Gillislee ran for 43 yards on 16 carries without a score for the Saints in 2018.
