The New England Patriots added depth to their wide receiver group Thursday when the team signed Austin Collie. The newly signed receiver declined to discuss whether that contract included an injury waiver. "I'd rather not talk about that," Collie said Friday, per the Boston Herald. "Guys, I'd rather not talk about the concussions or the past injuries. All that stuff is behind me. I think I've been asked those questions, you know, a lot in the past couple of years. I'm ready to put all that stuff behind me and move on. I'm just worried about being here. Being a part of this team and helping any way I can."

I don't think this is a bad signing for the Pats but an injury waiver is a smart move on the Pats part.
