The New England Patriots management has adopted a wait and watch policy with their offensive lineman Nick Kaczur following media reports of him arrested in April for illegal possession of painkillers. Kaczur was there with his teammates at the Gillette Stadium to take part in the offseason training routines and minicamps when these reports surfaced. The misuse of prescribed drugs is considered to be an offense as per the NFL drug abuse policy and if found guilty, Kaczur could face a rehabilitation program of three to six months or up to two seasons depending upon the degree of offense. It is not clear at present whether Kaczur’s fans who had bought tickets to watch him play in the new season will get a chance to see him in the opening game.

The New England Patriots has added one more offensive lineman to their team by signing Oliver Ross on Monday. Oliver Ross, born in Culver City, California has played for teams like Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals. Till date, he has played 89 games and has had 53 career starts. He is an asset to any team in the right tackle position. Even though Patriots are having enough and more offensive line, it is expected that he will be given the right tackle position in Patriots. Oliver is playing his ninth season in NFL and his best season was with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Pats fans will surely purchase tickets to see his excellent performances that will help the team to scale greater heights.

The New England Patriots are not rushing to re-sign their tried and tested 39 year old linebacker Junior Seau for another NFL season as the rookies in the team are in the eyes of Coach Bill Belichick. He said that a decision on the same will be taken once the mini camp and the training camp gets underway. Most of the rookies are training in various new positions in the training camps and the coach needs some more time to find a person that will fit into the huge shoes of Seau. But news is that both the fans and the team want to see younger faces in the linebacker position this season. The Pats fans will be sure to queue the ticket counters once the ticket sales for the upcoming season starts.
