LeGarrette Blount's time with the Patriots has seemingly come to an end.





That much was essentially solidified on Monday when the Pats officially inked Mike Gillislee to an offer sheet.





Yet even though Blount's new reality has had plenty of time to settle in with Pats fans with the writing on the wall for a couple of weeks, his expected destination is still going to sting.





Blount and the New York Giants have mutual interest and are expected to complete a deal in the coming days, possibly within the next 48 hours.

​​The Giants are gearing up for another Super Bowl run, having spent lavishly last offseason and making a few smart deals this year, most notably signing WR Brandon Marshall.





It makes complete sense for them to sign another veteran, considering they are currently led by second-year man Paul Perkins, a solid back but not one they can rely on right now.





Blount, meanwhile, is a proven workhorse who is coming off his best season yet.

Legarrette Blount 299 rushes for 1,161 yards 18 TD's. Top 10 in rushing yards in 2016. 46 highest paid RB in the league. 樂 — Marquis Watson (@MWatson_KSU7) January 12, 2017

​​Blount will likely command a modest contract with minimal guarantees (Adrian Peterson just signed a two-year deal with the Saints with only $1 million guaranteed). Of course, a lot can happen between now and the signature, but if he does sign with the Giants, Pats fans aren't going to love the idea of him hunting for another Super Bowl with the one team that has had their number in the big games.
