With the NFL set to enter (barring an unexpected last-minute agreement) the "uncapped year" there is a lot of uncertainty among fans as to what exactly the rules will be this offseason for player movement. While many people might hear the words "uncapped year" and think of huge contracts being handed out to the highest bidder, that is not likely to be the case. In fact, as pointed out in question twelve below, while there is no salary cap, there is no minimum team salary either. The Patriots will not be impacted by the "Final Eight Plan" as outlined in ...

Q&A With Kent State TE Jameson Konz
by Chris Warner, Patriots Daily Staff Jameson Konz from Kent State In his college career, Jameson Konz did almost everything. He played special teams. He played linebacker before switching to H-back and tight end. The one thing he didn’t do was get the attention of NFL scouts – at least until after his pro day. The Kent State utility knife lived up to the Golden Flash nickname last week, running... [Read more]
Q&A With Wisconsin S Chris Maragos
by Chris Warner, Patriots Daily Staff Wisconsin Safety Chris Maragos (21) Once overlooked by most Division I programs, Chris Maragos ended up changing schools and positions to give himself the best chance to make it to the NFL.

Q&A With Indiana LB Matt Mayberry
by Chris Warner, Patriots Daily Staff Indiana Linebacker Matt Mayberry When we think Indiana, most of us think basketball.

The 6-foot-1, 235-pound linebacker led Indiana in tackles this past season with 108. He spoke to PD about the importance... [Read more]

Q&A With Auburn RB Ben Tate
by Chris Warner, Patriots Daily Staff Auburn Running Back Ben Tate Bigger running backs get reputations as between-the-tackles guys who get a few yards up the middle and not much else. At 220 pounds, Ben Tate knew this perception of him going into the NFL combine, and he figured he’d do something about it. The Auburn product cast aside that image by finishing at or near the top of six categories... [Read more]

Q&A With Patriots CB Darius Butler
by Chris Warner, Patriots Daily Staff Last year at this time, Darius Butler was a highly-ranked cornerback unsatisfied with his combine performance. After improving his 40-time at UConn’s pro day, most draftniks figured he’d maintained his first-round status.

Q&A With Vanderbilt CB Myron Lewis
by Chris Warner, Patriots Daily Staff NFL coaches want their defenders to have size, speed and intelligence. They can tell that cornerback Myron Lewis has the first quality just by looking at him.
