According to Adam Schefter via his Twitter, the New England Patriots have signed OLB Jermaine Cunningham to a four year contract. He also reported that, “…Team’s other 2 second-rounders almost done as well.”
Cunningham was taken 53rd overall in the 2010 NFL Draft. He played defensive end at Florida, but will switch to outside linebacker in the Patriots’ 3-4 defense.
