Jerod Mayo - LB - Patriots

Patriots agreed to terms with first-round LB Jerod Mayo on an five-year deal worth $18.9 million with $13.8 million guaranteed..

It's a victory for Mayo that he managed to avoid signing for the six-year maximum, which the Pats almost always get players to do. Mayo is a versataile, heady player with a great chance to start as a rookie at inside linebacker to Tedy Brushchi. Jul. 24
