I'm not surprised they would be interested in this guy. As I recall, the debated drafting him instead of Murray and Ridley had a pre-draft visit.

Yeah, Dallas had him in for a pre-draft workout so there was definitely interest. They took Murray two picks before Ridley went to New England in the 2011 draft.

Stevan Ridley

It seems that Ridley is flying a bit under the radar to this point. During his four-year stint in New England, Ridley averaged less than 4.3 YPC just one time, which was in 2014. He only played six games this past year, but before that missed just two games. Ridley's best year came in 2012 when he was the workhorse for the Patriots, running 290 times for 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns

Given the injury, I wonder if they would "redshirt" Ridley like they did will Williams this year

Ridley’s free-agent status is affected, in part, by the torn ACL he sustained Oct. 12 in a game against the Buffalo Bills. He explained his thought process along those lines in the Sirius interview.

“I take what I do to heart. It’s not really all about the dollar bill to me. Of course, every player wants to be paid for the work they’ve put in, but to me it’s bigger than that,” he said. “I think you see a lot of guys that work hard and get to that second contract and they kind of get complacent. With me, I believe the Lord takes you through certain things to develop you as a person and you really find out who you are. For me to have this injury going into my contract year, I really think that is going to make me that much more hungry going into this next season. I have something to prove. I have something to play for.”

Ridley expressed confidence in what he can do on the field in 2015.

“I take it personal to any team or anybody that says I can’t be a very productive player on whatever team I land on,” he said. “I’ve been playing ball my whole life, I’m going to come in and be a leader, and I’m going to be a guy that comes in and busts his butt in the weight room and busts his butt on the field. I’m a good teammate, I have fun with my guys, but when the lights come on Sundays, it’s all business and I plan on going out there and making plays.”
