Updating a previous story, New England Patriots RB Rex Burkhead will ‘almost certainly play the final year of his three-year contract’ after agreeing to restructure his deal and create just shy of $1 million in cap space Tuesday, July 7, according to Sean T. McGuire of NESN.com.

Footballguys View: That’s why guys restructure their contracts. Burkhead reworked his deal and his role will remain nearly the same with the team. He’s the no.3 back (at best) behind Sony Michel and James White.
