I would have been more surprising if he did not and this thing dragged out, the writing is very clear for the NEP.

Honestly,

Just my opinion, but I think the Pats will primarily work him at free safety and move Wilson back to his natural corner position.

I think the Safety position is going to be manned by Rodney, Sanders, and Gene and they will be working out Meriweather at CB with Tory James and Ellis.

I think the Pats would've put Gene at CB a lot sooner than now if he was any good at it. You have to assume BB has already tried him out there in previous non-injury riddled seasons.

Meriweather's size is more suited for CB IMO.

As of right now, only 12 first rounders have yet to sign. Without looking, can anyone name those 12?

Meriweather details
Posted by Albert Breer at 7:49 pm

While we’re still working on some of the specifics, we’ve got some details to pass along on the five-year pact struck by the Patriots and first-round pick Brandon Meriweather.

According to multiple league sources, the deal is worth $8.75 million with $2.75 in escalators. That would put Meriweather at a maximum value about $11.5 million over five.

Last year’s 24th overall selection, Bengals corner Jonathan Joseph, received a max-value of $10.7 over five. So on those numbers, Meriweather reaped a 7.5 percent inflation rate.

Meriweather salary info is in per NFLPA. He'll get the minimums for the first 4 years, then $650k in Year 5. No word on bonuses yet.
