A piece on Silvestro:

Input from McCourty, perhaps?

Re: Undrafted Free Agent Signings

PFT is saying that nobody can sign yet.

Tom Kowalski of Mlive.com tells us that, per multiple source, teams cannot sign undrafted players tonight.

Mark Maske of the Washington Post confirms Kowalski, citing NFL spokesman Greg Aiello.

Report that teams can sign undrafted players now is incorrect | ProFootballTalk


For Sciz, that means Herzlich is still in play.

PFT is saying that nobody can sign yet.

Every source I've seen says you can't technically sign tonight, but you can "agree to terms." We've seen that a lot in past NFL contract situations, and AFAIK those agreements have always been honored by both sides.

Jeremy Ross, WR, Cal: Jeremy Ross*|*California,*WR*:*2011 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile

Alex Silvestro, DE, Rutgers: Alex Silvestro*|*Rutgers,*DE*:*2011 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile

Looks like both are signing with the Pats.

Ross is a prolific punt returner (2nd all time at Cal). Don't know much of anything about Silvestro, but after last year I don't hate the idea of more Rutgers alums on D.

Pats Propaganda (that's miDeuce here on these forums) dug up this clip of Jeremy Ross: http://patspropaganda.com/post/8068183338/patriots-udfa-watch-jeremy-ross-wr-cal

Re: Undrafted Free Agent Signings

Herzlich to Baltimore is very interesting to me. I wonder if they plan on having him as a situational guy. I had him more likely going to Chicago or Denver. Baltimore has such crazy team speed that he won't be called in on special teams, so the plan has gotta be sub.

Re: Undrafted Free Agent Signings

I'll have to put my time in watching Silvestro before I say anything but Coach Schiano gets his guys ready for the NFL. Ties in with this year's theme of either immediate contribution or long term development.

Apparently Herzlich has denied the reports that he's agreed with Baltimore...

Re: Undrafted Free Agent Signings

For all of you Herzlich lovers, he just tweeted:

"I haven't signed with anyone yet & am still making my decision. Thank you for support; I will give official word tomorrow"

Re: Undrafted Free Agent Signings

Looks like this tweet from Jeremy Ross settles it:

"Thank you God, I'm officially with the New England Patriots #PatsNation"

He's @J_Ross_3 for anyone who want to follow him.

Re: Undrafted Free Agent Signings

Pats Propaganda just posted this article about Silvestro:

Pats Propaganda, Patriots UDFA Watch: Alex Silvestro DE Rutgers

Of particular interest:

‘‘Alex is a fighter,’’ said coach Greg Schiano. ‘‘He’s a tough son of a gun. He doesn’t always do it right (technically), but he gets in the right spot by fighting his guts out. We’re going to miss him. He brings a toughness to this team.’’
Silvestro, who can rush the passer and drop in coverage, appears to be just scratching the surface of his potential.

235 pounds, small linebacker...

Undersized but an excellent athlete...was a top recruit who never reached his potential because of a series of mostly minor injuries.
