Official 2007 Rookie Signing Thread (9 of 9 signed)

Re: Official 2007 Rookie Signing Thread (6 signed)

Am I missing something?? I have 87 on the total roster...signed/unsigned..inc the addition of the Browns. If one minuses the 3 unsigned college players, KBrown, Elgin and Meriweather and Samuel, who has not signed the tender, the total is 83...and that is what I thought was allowed 80 plus the 3 NFLE.

87
-3 NFLE exemptions
-3 unsigned picks
-1 Get Paid
-----------------
80

Seems like we are right on track with the numbers..no need to ax anyone until 1 of the 3 signs

K. Brown in fold
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff

The Patriots and fourth-round draft choice Kareem Brown have finalized a contract agreement today. Brown, a defensive lineman from the University of Miami, becomes the seventh of the team's nine draft choices to strike a deal.

First-round draft choice Brandon Meriweather and seventh-rounder Mike Elgin are the draft picks yet to officially sign.

On a lighter note, the Patriots might have set an unofficial NFL record by signing a Brown in each of the last three weeks. First, Troy Brown. Then, Chad Brown. Now, Kareem Brown.

elgin might be the first 7 th round holdout in the history of the league, whats with him?

 

[Pats726]

Re: Kareem Brown signed

Good news...2 to go..but I agree a 7th NOT signed?? Wonder what the deal is??

Re: Kareem Brown signed

Once the Brown signing goes official, the Pats will have to make a roster move.

I'm pretty positive that he is not holding out. His contract is probably already written and agreed on, but the bigger issue here is deciding what player currently on the roster to release.

K. Brown in fold
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff

...

In addition to Brown, the Patriots announced the signing of seventh-round pick Mike Elgin.

That leaves first-round pick Brandon Meriweather as the lone unsigned draft pick at this time.

OK, with Elgin signed, the Pats will have to make 2 roster moves by tomorrow.

Re: Official 2007 Rookie Signing Thread (8 of 9 signed)

And to think fans of other teams actually worry about draft picks getting signed. Other than Watson, signing our draft picks is a issue for us

 

[patriot lifer]

Re: Official 2007 Rookie Signing Thread (8 of 9 signed)

Now that Meriweather is the only one left, the Pats can utilize peer pressure to sign him quickly "come on Brandon, everyone's doin' it."

Re: Official 2007 Rookie Signing Thread (8 of 9 signed)

Forget Elgin and sign Merriweather. Only one cut. Does anyone have an updated roster?

Huh? Elgin is already signed. And believe me, Meriweather will be signed. Watson was the only exception. Whether Meriweather signs tomorrow, Wednesday, or Thursday doesn't matter.

Here's your roster:

(Just keep in mind their experience numbers aren't actually accrued seasons - NFL.com player pages is the best source for those, but remember in both cases, they are listed as, for example, 5th-year (or 4 seasons of experience, not 5).

Sorry didn't read the whole blog was at work. so just one more to go. Thanks for clarifying.

Re: Official 2007 Rookie Signing Thread (8 of 9 signed)

So Elgin waited this long for what?

I imagine the reason was they only had one pen and the other no names were using it.

Funny line, RC.

As for the cuts, I'm hoping it's Dunlap and CJ Jones.
