Patriots | Five players added Mon May 4, 11:45 PM
The Associated Press reports the New England Patriots have signed LB Vinny Ciurciu (Vikings), DT Steve Williams (Chiefs), RB Omar Cuff (Buccaneers), WR Robert Ortiz (49ers) and P Aaron Perez. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Omar Cuff originally signed with the Tennessee Titans as an Undrafted Free Agent in 2008. He bounced around with 4 different teams his rookie season, and now calls New England his home. Cuff is a tough runner that was team captain for the Delaware Blue Hens and a college teammate of Joe Flacco. The Patriots know how to get the best out of players so keep Omar Cuff on your radar if you play in a deep dynasty league. |
