April 25 (UPI) -- A source familiar with the situation says that there is "mutual interest" between free agent running back LeGarrette Blount and the New York Giants.
The NFL Network reported Tuesday that the Giants originally thought Blount would return to the Super Bowl champions. But the New England Patriots have since bulked up its running back stable with the signings of Mike Gillislee and Rex Burkhead, making the outlook murky for the eight-year veteran. The Patriots also have Dion Lewis and Super Bowl hero James White in its backfield.
