Still room for two more people on the 90-man, right?

White was signed as well.

Great news. I believe the rookies were supposed to arrive today.

yukon cornelius · Jul 21, 2023

So they signed DROY today?

yukon cornelius · Jul 21, 2023

The DROY who will be the absolute steal of this draft

yukon cornelius · Jul 21, 2023

Gonzalez will be ok, too

Draft picks now count against the 90-man roster limit, even if they aren't signed, so yep.

it will be a Special Teams only player and a lacrosse player from Rutgers.

Assuming health White, Mapu and Gonzalez could make this defense really fun to watch.

Gonzales whole contract is fully guaranteed.

Have they done that before?

For the past two draft classes, the entire contracts of the first 24 picks were fully guaranteed. This year the 31 first round picks are guaranteed.

The Pats are doing what everyone else is doing. BB saved about $2M over 4 years trading down before picking Gonzo.

I was listening to something Curran mentioned.. while BB has been masterful maneuvering the roster over the years.. he said his money saving ability is tied too his own salary. As he benefits from saving the team money.. But that's good to know they are doing what the league seems to be doing. Glad to see to players I'm expecting to play vital roles be under contract to they can play freely in camp.

The Pats spend the whole salary cap, or roll it over to spend the next year. So when I say "saved" it means saved to spend on someone else, which also might be next year. There is no real money "not spent" because the Pats spend the whole salary cap. Maybe "saved to spend on another player" would have been better wording.

Curran thing about saving money is a guess. Noone knows what is in BB's contract, and the Pats spend to the cap limit.
