The New England Patriots signed one more player to the team just a few days before the draft. The team is set as far as the starting line is considered for the next few years, but building depth and reliable replacements for players’ whose contracts will be ending in the next two to three seasons is the priority over the next few days.
In the spring of 2004 long snapper Tony Case was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Buffalo Bills. Two months later he was released by the team and has continued the sport as coach for the offensive line and long snappers of Chadron State College in Nebraska. His resume includes the National Indoor Football League, three years as an offensive line starter for Adams State with simultaneous obligation to long snapping.
Case will be falling in line after seven season veteran Lonie Paxton. Watch the draft this weekend on ESPN and get your 2007 NFL season tickets through StubHub.com.
