The Patriots signed tight end Matt Kranchick to a contract for 2007. The 6-foot-7-inch, 260-pound Kranchick was initially signed to the practice squad Dec. 15.

This would be a future contract, meaning he will be added to the offseason 80-man roster after the Super Bowl.

Jonathan Smith was also signed to a future contract January 4th.

Kranchick ended the season of the Pats' practice squad.

well if these guys were on a team before..doubt they are that good. dont worry..Kranchick is not the answer to replace Graham. Graham will need a much better replacment than this kid

Well, some others teams have signed upwards of 15 players to future contracts.

The Pats are 3 weeks behind the majority of the NFL.

The Colts and Bears will be 5 or 6.
