Signings

CB Terrence Wheatley inked a deal today to make him the second to last draftee to sign.  Here's the team's press release on Wheatley's:

Wheatley, 23, played in 40 games with 28 starts for the University of Colorado over four seasons (2003-04, 2006-07). The 5-foot-9-inch, 183-pound cornerback recorded 156 tackles (124 solo), 1.5 sacks, 14 interceptions for 154 yards and two touchdowns, 31 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Wheatley also gained 1,350 yards on kickoff returns in his collegiate career. His 14 interceptions tied the second highest total in Colorado history, while his total of two interception returns for touchdowns was one shy of the school record. As a senior in 2007, Wheatley was a first-team All-Big 12 selection by the Associated Press and the league's coaches, starting 10 games and totaling five interceptions and 12 passes defensed. He became the first Colorado player in 25 years to record three interceptions in a game when he achieved the feat against Texas Tech.

The Patriots also signed FA offensive lineman Lavdrim Bauta, putting the Patriots at their maximum 80 man roster.  More from his press release:

Bauta, 24, was a three-year letterman for Duke before transferring to Villanova for his final collegiate season in 2006. As a senior with Villanova in 2006, Bauta started 10 games at right tackle. In 2005, Bauta started all 11 games at tackle for Duke while also being named to the ACC All-Academic Team.

The only unsigned draftee left is Jerod Mayo.  Jerod?  Please don't make me nervous.  I'm sure you're going to sign.  All this posturing by your agent is just making fans nervous.  Ok, so you were a first rounder and all.  Go for it because we want to see you at training camp.  We want to see you mind melding with Tedy.  Don't do this to us.  SIGN...SIGN...SIGN!  Do you really need another  Porsche?
