This is something most probably expected, but it's set in stone - the Pats will not take Samardzija. He's decided to focus on baseball with the Chicago Cubs. Have a good career Shark.

Samardzija going to focus on Cubs career
Cubs prospect Jeff Samardzija, a record-breaking receiver at Notre Dame, is giving up football for baseball, FOXSports.com has learned.
Samardzija, a right-handed pitcher, was the Cubs' fifth-round pick last summer and projected as a first-round pick in the NFL draft.
He signed a $7.25 million contract with the Cubs and went 1-2 with a 2.70 ERA in seven starts at Class A last summer before returning to Notre Dame for his senior football season.
