The New England Patriots, in the market for a backup quarterback, have worked out NFL veteran Cleo Lemon and are expected to sign him Saturday.
Lemon was the quarterback who had a mid-afternoon workout Friday. There had been reports the Patriots worked out Michael Vick, but Lemon was the quarterback who was on the field throwing with front office people watching. Vick was in Virginia at a bankruptcy court hearing.
The Patriots were in contract talks with Lemon on Saturday afternoon.
A Lemon signing could mean the Patriots might not be interested in bringing in Vick in the near future. Bill Bilichick didn't rule out interest in Vick, but he also wouldn't say that they were interested on Friday.
Lemon is a 29-year-old veteran who has played for the Ravens, Chargers, Dolphins and Jaguars.
