Schwenke’s retirement yet again creates an open spot on the world champions’ roster.The 27-year old was entering his second season with the Patriots after he returned to New England this offseason on a one-year contract extension. Schwenke originally joined the team in late July last year and despite getting thrown in at the deep end — he was brought aboard when New England’s training camp had already started — performed well enough over the next few weeks to be kept on speed-dial after his release in early September.Schwenke, a fourth-round draft pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2013 who also spent time with the Indianapolis Colts, re-joined the club just three days after his release and served as a backup interior offensive lineman until early November.

He’s not exactly known as the swiftest runner.But Brady says he loves it when the opportunity arises for him to make plays with his legs.“I think those are important plays,” Brady said, via MassLive.com.

I revel in that.”Brady had 10 rushing first downs last year. He thinks 16 would be a good goal for this year.“Hopefully I can do that once a game,” Brady said. “I think I’d be good with that.
