Derrick Burgess signed a 1 Year Deal with Pats per Shefter's Twitter.

102 Pat

This was just mentioned by Adam Schefter on his twitter feed:

"Another smaller win in New England this morning -- Patriots reached agreement on a one-year contract with DE Derrick Burgess."

Hopefully the Burgess of the last few games of last season shows up. In my opinion, it seemed like he was more comfortable in the system after being a near non-factor for most of the year.

This offseason, it's almost like Belichick is saying, "I'm never going to let that happen again."

I like this. I thought his play picked up in the second half of the season.

fgssand

good to have him back here - maybe cunningham can come in and do the job, maybe crable breaks through -- maybe not.

at least we wont have to worry about ninkovich or woods as starters.

Haha I was surprised no one else had posted yet.. it had been on Shefters twitter for a whole 8 minutes - I mean werent we all waiting by the computer for this signing??

Yeah, great to have him back. He was great against Indy and was a solid contributer down the stretch last season. Hopefully he continues where he left off. I'm wondering what took so long for this signing to happen. I'd venture to guess he had some kind of an undisclosed injury this offseason and the Pats were waiting for him to heal up.

It makes the most sense to bring him back in hopefully for cheap. I wish they did this with Colvin last year.

Could be something like that, or simply that they waited for the player to accept their idea of his market value. Regardless, I'm very happy to have Burgess back. There's tremendous benefit to having a guy returning to your system rather than just learning the ropes. (The same can be said for Ninkovich, who is a better athlete than folks give him credit for.)

PATSYLICIOUS

I like this alot. Let's see if he can turn his late season momentum into a full season. If not, we do still need depth at OLB. Good news
