Finding The Bargains

In spite of all the hype around the NFL draft, every team looks for the gems among the undrafted free agents.

In 2016, 117 of 590 (19.8%)  of the UFA's made a Week 1 roster or Injured Reserve. Another 125 (21.2%) made a practice squad according to the NFLPA.

The Pats have an exceptional history of finding players like David Andrews, Brandin Bolden and Malcolm Butler.

They already guaranteed BYU linebacker Harvey Langi a base salary of $100,000 and a spot on the practice squad, with a chance to make the opening day roster.

There is no doubt that a UFA will make a major impact with the Pats this season.
