New England safety Ross Ventrone has gone undrafted, picked up, signed, waived, re-signed, cut, brought back, put on the practice squad, promoted, demoted and everything in-between - lately on a week-to-week basis - since he became a Patriot. Originally signed as a rookie free agent out of Villanova on April 29, 2010, his almost absurdly frequent comings and goings appear below. Hopefully, for his sake, his agent isn't paid by the transaction:

08/15/10 - Waived
08/23/10 - Signed (played final two pre-season games)
09/04/10 - Waived
10/19/10 - Signed to practice squad
01/18/11 - Signed to a future contract (played Week 3)
10/01/11 - Waived
10/04/11 - Signed to practice squad
10/08/11 - Promoted to 53-man roster (played Week 5 & Week 6)
10/17/11 - Waived
10/19/11 - Signed to 53-man roster (but will it be 'bye-bye' after the Bye? Only the Hoodie knows.)
