The Patriots have finalized a four year contract for fourth round draft pick Kareem Brown. Brown is the eighth rookie to sign his contract, leaving just Brandon Meriweather. Training camp starts on Friday, so lets just hope they can get a deal done by then. Meriweather’s deal will likely be for five years, and will be [...]
