It looks like the law firm will be moving from Foxborough to Cincinnati.

Mary Paoletti of CSNNE.com is reporting that running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis will sign with the Bengals as a free agent. Green-Ellis was in Cincinnati for a visit recently and also reportedly drew interest from the Jets. Green-Ellis ran for 667 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Patriots in 2011 after gaining 1,008 yards and scoring 13 times in 2010.

With Cedric Benson not expected back as a free agent, Green-Ellis would likely be playing a lead role in the Bengals running game next season. Bernard Scott will be the other main running option for the Bengals.

The Patriots have a pair of players heading into their second NFL seasons, Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley, at running back to go along with Danny Woodhead.
