Mike Gillislee will join the New England Patriots after the Buffalo Bills decided not to match a two-year, $6.4 million offer sheet on Monday.
New England will send a fifth-round draft pick to Buffalo as compensation for the restricted free agent.
Just a year ago the Patriots signed Chris Hogan to a three-year, $12 million offer sheet which the Bills declined to match.
In addition to Gillislee, the Patriots have James White, Dion Lewis and Rex Burkhead at running back.
