NBC Sports - ProFootballTalk: Patriots sign Markus Kuhn http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/04/07/patriots-sign-markus-kuhn/

 

[RobertWeathers]

Great. Now he and Vollmer can get wiener schnitzel on the menu at Davios at Patriot Place.

 

[jah]

I saw earlier today he was expected to sign elsewhere. Thought it might be here. Don't know anything about him as a player but I wonder what it says about him that this was so predictable.

giants fans say he sucks ass.. so i'd assume he's just camp fodder

If Giants fans say he sucks ass, I'm guessing he's Pro a Bowl material. If you asked them yesterday, they'd have raved about him...

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Awesome! He was one of my draft binkies back in the day.

[BradyFTW!]

I don't foresee him making the team, especially since I assume the Pats will take a late-round flyer on a DT. Nothing wrong with a bit of TC competition, though.

Arbeit macht roster.

They were using him as a D-Tackle, his true position will be on the O-line

 

[manxman2601]

Kuuuuuuuuhhhhn!!!

Oh dear. Wrong guy.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Sign the beast ...

Probably heard of him but people who like the measurables should look up Moritz Boehringer in this years draft. Big Sleeper apparently.

NFL: Markus Kuhn wechselt zu Sebastian Vollmers New England Patriots - sportal.de

Deutsches Duo bei den New England Patriots in der US-Football-Profiliga NFL: Wie der Super-Bowl-Gewinner von 2014 am Donnerstag bekannt gab, läuft in der kommenden Saison neben Offensive Tackle Sebastian Vollmer auch Markus Kuhn für das Team aus Foxborough/Massachusetts aus. Der 29 Jahre alte Defensive Tackle kommt von den New York Giants.

Kuhn hatte 2014 mit einem 26-Yards-Touchdown, dem ersten eines Deutschen in der NFL, auf sich aufmerksam gemacht. In der vergangenen Saison stand der gebürtige Mannheimer in zehn Spielen für die Giants auf dem Feld. Vollmer (Kaarst) hatte in der Vorsaison den Super Bowl gewonnen.

Yeah, Chris Jones can't be feeling too great about his chances at the moment, particularly after this signing.

For a second there I thought you wrote Chris Long.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

FWIW, they liked Jones enough that they let him get married on the 50-yard-line at Gillette . . . during the bye week . . . as a rookie.

Another point worth noting is that he hit the playing time incentive so he gets paid like an RFA this season. I could see them signing him to a two-year deal to reduce his cap hit.

 

[mgteich]

Yeah, Chris Jones can't be feeling too great about his chances at the moment, particularly after this signing.

$1.7M is a lot to pay our #5 DT.

The team likes him or he would be long gone.

Perhaps, he could stay under a lower salary. Even then, most folks her would prefer a draftee.
