Womens
Cordarrelle Patterson Jersey , the New England Patriots will play
their much-anticipated week six game against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs.
The team¡¯s front office, however, has set its sights not just on the game:
according to ESPN Boston¡¯s Mike Reiss, the team recently brought in five free
agents for workouts. Let¡¯s take a look at them.DE Will ClarkeSince entering the
NFL as a third-round draft pick in 2014, Will Clarke appeared in a combined 55
games for the Cincinnati Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Playing primarily as
a rotational pass rusher, the West Virginia product registered 7.0 sacks over
the course of his career ¨C with 4.0 of which coming during his best season,
2016. Clarke, who also has special teams experience, was let go by the
Buccaneers twice this season so far and hit the open market again earlier this
week.QB Connor CookA fourth-round draft pick by the Oakland Raiders in 2016,
Connor Cook served as the team¡¯s third-string quarterback for his two years with
the club. Due to being buried on the depth chart, the 6¡¯4

220 lbs passer appeared in only two games so far in his career ¨C with his first
career start coming in the postseason. Overall, the 25-year old completed 32 of
66 pass attempts for 311 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions. Cook was
let go by Oakland during this year¡¯s roster cutdowns and subsequently joined the
Carolina Panthers¡¯ practice squad.LB Kasim EdebaliFollowing a career at Boston
College, Kasim Edebali went undrafted in 2014. Since then, the6¡¯2, 250 lbs
linebacker has played for six different teams ¨C the last of which the Chicago
Bears, who had him on their roster this offseason. Overall, Edebali appeared in
61 games over the course of his career as a depth edge defender and special
teamer. He saw most of his action with the New Orleans Saints between 2014 and
2016, when he played 48 games and registered 8.0 sacks.WR Devin RossDespite a
comparatively productive career at Colorado, Devin Ross went unselected in this
year¡¯s draft. Instead, the now-23-year old joined the Tennessee Titans as a free
agent. The 5¡¯9

190 lbs receiver, who plays primarily from the slot, had a solid preseason ¨C
catching six passes for 80 yards ¨C but injured his ankle in the final game
before roster cuts. As a result, he was placed on injured reserve but later
released with an injury settlement. His workout indicates that the settlement
period is now over and Ross healthy enough to play again.TE Shane WimannAfter
being named first-team all-MAC during his senior campaign, Northern Illinois¡¯
Shane Wimann went undrafted. The Patriots picked him up as a free agent shortly
afterwards but the 24-year old failed to make an impact and was let go again
early during his first NFL training camp: Wimann was let go with an injury
designation and reverted to the injured reserve list. The rookie and the
Patriots agreed to an injury settlement two weeks later, allowing him to hit the
open market again.BREAKING: Patriots, Rob Gronkowski agree to restructured
contract New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski made headlines
immediately after last season¡¯s Super Bowl, when he did not fully commit to
returning in 2018. Despite the wave of rumors and speculation this kicked off,
though, he ultimately was back on the practice fields for the mandatory portion
of the Patriots¡¯ spring and summer workout sessions. And from that point on it
was business as usual for the NFL¡¯s best tight end.The actual business was taken
care of today. According to ESPN¡¯s Adam Schefter, Gronkowski and the Patriots
agreed to a restructured contract:Schefter also shared additional details about
the structure:Last season Gronkowski recorded 69 receptions
Youth
Stephen Gostkowski Jersey , 1,084 yards, and 8 touchdowns so he
will be rewarded for having a superior season in 2018. He also played 79.3% of
possible snaps last year, so hopefully he can earn that $1.1 million bonus.
Given last year¡¯s numbers, Gronkowski¡¯s bonus money is classified not likely to
be earned ¨C which means it will not hit the Patriots¡¯ salary cap just yet.The
new deal is built similar to the contract restructure Gronkowski and the
Patriots agreed to last offseason: if the NFL¡¯s best tight end stays healthy and
produces at his usual levels, he should be able to at least hit some of the
incentives built in his new deal. Certainly a good move for both the player and
the team: Gronkowski can earn additional money, while New England will gladly
spend it if it means that the tight end puts up big numbers.
