Default Patriots claim OT Steve Maneri from Houston

Agent: Patriots claim OT Maneri -- espnBoston

Quote:
The Patriots have claimed offensive tackle Steve Maneri off waivers from the Houston Texans, agent Ed Wasielewski said on Twitter.

Maneri (6-7, 290) is a rookie out of Temple who played tight end in college. NFL teams had been interested in him as a tight end and tackle in the pre-draft process.

After going undrafted, Maneri elected to sign with the Texans because he wanted to play tackle. He lined up primarily at left tackle in the preseason.
Reiss also notes the Pats will have to make a roster move in order to make room for Maneri.


Here's a link to the agent's tweet: http://twitter.com/ed_waz

Congrats to offensive tackle Steve Maneri who was claimed by the #Patriots. #NFL

Maneri was signed as an undrafted free agent last May. He was a tight end at Temple but is listed as an offensive tackle. Apparently the Texans were hoping to sign him to their practice squad: http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/....html&team=121

Picking up from the waiver claims thread...here some more background on the newest Patriot:

FWIW, the consensus on him among Texans fans seems to be that they fully expected him to be cut, but hoped he'd clear waivers to the P.S.

Does he have to go to the 53 if he gets claimed on waivers or can he go straight to the PS?

Yep, so a cut should be coming. But there' no requirement to keep him on the 53 for any length of time; he could be gone tomorrow.

Waiver claims go to the 53 man roster. Not to the Practice Squad.

Thanks

Huh, now I can't either -- looks like a server error. Here's the rundown:

Height: 6071
Weight: 265 (but he's been packing on the pounds since!)
40 Yrd Dash: 4.84
20 Yrd Dash: 2.74
10 Yrd Dash: 1.69
225 Lb. Bench Reps: 23
Vertical Jump: 28
Broad Jump: 08'04"
20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.50
3-Cone Drill: 7.55

Tough kid who was an excellent blocking TE and has very long arms to go with his height. Was considered borderline draftable as an OT conversion.
