Take the money & tell Syracuse & Pitt to take a hike

Chandler Jones eager to make good impression on Patriots
”In this organization, we always being in high character guys. Since Day One, we’ve clicked,” Arrington said, taking a break from his charity bowling event over the weekend. ”Guys like Marquice (Cole), Will Allen, Steve Gregory, since the first day we came in together, it’s like we’ve known each other our whole career. We’re best friends already. So it’s going well.”

Also, keep an eye on UDFA (Undrafted Free Agent) Phillip Thomas from Syracuse University. A 5-10, 200-pounder who had nine interceptions in two seasons. He is a physical player despite his lack of size and you can expect Thomas to challenge for a roster spot. We all know how much Reid covets UDFAs.
There is a ton of hope with UDFA Thomas, but going from UDFA to starter in year one may prove to big an obstacle

It was reported earlier this week by other media outlets that Hampton QB David Legree signed a contract with the Chiefs. The team didn't announce him as one of the undrafted free agent signings so I'm guessing that Legree is really just a tryout player this weekend.

Another player of note is quarterback David LeGree, who began his college career at Syracuse before transferring to Hampton. The Chiefs have only three quarterbacks under contract and would prefer to take four to training camp. LeGree could eventually be that quarterback

5 undrafted rookies to watch: No. 4 -- TE Provo
Ravens sign Provo & Graham
Bears defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli worked with McClellin and tryout defensive ends Josue Ortiz of Harvard, Jason Peters of Georgia Tech and Zary Stewart of Morgan State in position drills Friday.

CURTIS BRINKLEY (Chargers): With Mike Tolbert gone to Carolina and waning belief in Jacob Hester ever being a starter in the NFL, Brinkley becomes the sure fire backup to Ryan Mathews. Brinkley is a speedy, Sproles like back who has the potential to be used as such on the west coast version of the Saints.
Also playing into Brinkley’s upside is Ryan Mathews tendency to get injured. Mathews has yet to play a full season and has yet to break double digits in touchdowns. Last season, Tolbert and Brinkley combined for 61 catches versus Mathews 50 out of the backfield.
Expecting Brinkley to horde those 61 touches should put him at about 200 total touches on the season if we use Tolbert’s numbers from last year. If Mathews once again falls to injury, that number could go up significantly. Also, the reality of the Chargers becoming a more balanced run/pass team looms large.
With the loss of Vincent Jackson to Tampa, nobody is sure if Robert Meachem can really fill the void. Outside of Antonio Gates, there will be much to prove in terms of the Chargers wide receiving corps. The result could be a Chargers team which joins the rest of the AFC West foes as a run focused organization. Even if it’s not by choice.
