I don't know, from reading through his timeline it doesn't appear to me that an agreement between the Pats and Aiken has been reached.
May 1 12:24 pm The Patriots followers is coming...waiting on that final contract call
In response to being asked "you coming to Beantown?" on
May 2 9:30 pm on my way! Bruh...soon I hope!
I read that as he's hoping the Patriots will sign him, but nothing definite.
The comment on
May 1 1:06 pm where he said
Preciate the Love & can't wait to ball w/ Vince & #DoWork was in response to a comment where someone said
Thank You for Your Service to Our Country. It would be fitting to have a real Patriot as part of #Patsnation - they're just saying it would be great if he became a Patriot, not that he is a member of the club.
Now on the positive side, on the final day of the draft on
April 29 6:39 pm Aiken did say
Texans, Giants, Ravens, Patriots my agent tryin to get me this contract....leaning towards the Patriots tho, so it appears that the Patriots are his first choice. It is somewhat odd that six days later no contract has been signed, no deal agreed upon. Maybe the Patriots are attempting to trade someone in order to open up a roster spot? It just don't understand why it would take that long to sign an UDFA, if this is a guy the Pats want.
