By Mike Reiss
>>>> The Patriots and first-round draft choice Devin McCourty have agreed to terms on a contract this morning, according to an NFL source.

McCourty, a cornerback from Rutgers, was selected 27th overall in the draft.<<<<<<

 

[Kontradiction]

Good stuff. Now we're ready to get into camp. Really hoping McCourty can show enough this year to take Wilhite's place.

 

[BelizePats]

Bonus!!! And I'm with Kontra. Upgrading Wilhite as the nickle is crucial to this defense being substantially better.

 

[Rob0729]

Cool, when camp starts tomorrow, all the rooks will be in camp. I have higher expectations than most for McCourty.

That's good news I'm guessing we are one of, if not the first teams to sign all of our rookies.

12 Rookies under contract before camp, eh? Perhaps El Brady is next...

And then comes Mankins!!!

FIVE year deal with Devin is sweet!

Schefter has a link to story showing Pats as one of only four teams with all players signed.

Twitter / Adam Schefter: Good job by these teams. R ...

Taking care of business — almost seems like that could be this year's theme. So far this off-season, they've had a potentially strong draft, some jettisoning of some junk, re-signing of Vince and Bodden, then timely signings of all picks. Very optimistic about Brady re-signing; Mankins ... mmm, I think him going public didn't help his chances of getting anything soon. He needs to do some fence mending.

Tomorrow: Time to start taking care of business on the field. Finally.

 

[BlueThunder]

I would think Mankins would be next as Brady's is probably abit more complicated.

 

[ausbacker]

The Patriots continue to take care of business with the most minimal of fuss. The perception the media passes on is a very different thing.

Pleased to have McCourty on board. Hopefully he'll McCourty some receivers.

I doubt it, not until Mankins shows up - they have a great relationship with Brady, not with Mankins after his little show - there's some serious fence mending that needs to come from Mankins to the F.O. before they even talk to him IMO.

Agreed -- getting such a huge rookie class all in on time is a major accomplishment. Kudos to Floyd and the boys.

 

[Patspsycho]

Patriots are only 1 of 4 teams to have all picks signed.

Do you think he'll have a bigger impact than Dez Bryant ?

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Why was Dallas so cheap with Bryant?
Note that the Squealers signed everyone to short 3 year deals. What's up with that?

 

[DarrylS]

This is really good news, I like it.

 

[Reckedtrek]

This is great news- no hold outs. Get Brady extended and figure out the Mankins situation one way or the other.

What's the current status of Gostkowski, BTW?

Hope that he and the Patriots are not poles apart

This. I'm sure the Patriots are willing to pay for him, but he needs to Cowboy up first after his little tirade.
