Bill Belichick has a special afinity for the players from the US Armed Forces,
specifically the US Navy. But contrary to a published report, two members of
the US Navy are not headed to New England.
The agent for the players issued the following statement:
"Despite an earlier report, Eric Kettani and Tyree Barnes have not signed
free agent contracts with the New England Patriots or any other NFL Team. I
have had some discussions with the Patriots regarding the possibility along
with several other teams but nothing has been signed."
Both players, are talented NFL prospects who went undrafted this past weekend.
Like all members of the US Armed forces, they're obligated to fulfill their
military commitment before their next career can commence.
