Report: Demps wants to resume track career
Jeff Demps - RB - New England Patriots
Feb. 26, 2013 - 7:40 PM ET

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports Patriots RB/KR Jeff Demps has "informed the Pats he's returning to track, but wants to play two sports."

It's bizarre timing, as the Rio Olympics are over three years away. We doubt Bill Belichick will be sympathetic to a player wanting to divide his time between two sports, meaning Demps could be told to take a hike. The former Florida Gator's three-year deal included $211,000 guaranteed, all of which has already been paid. It's possible Demps finagled a clause in last summer's negotiations that would allow him to keep running, but unlikely.
