After working unsuccessfully to reach a long-term deal in New England, third-year Patriots wide receiver Jabar Gaffney re-signed a one-year pact on March 5. While disappointed that the sides couldn't hammer out the long-term pact he'd hoped for when he was due to hit free agency this spring, the former second-round pick of the Texans was quite pleased that his football future will be in New England.

"I wanted to stick around," Gaffney said after a recent team workout. "I knew I wanted to stay here, especially how last season ended. I wanted to come back and give it another run."

Gaffney finished his second season in New England with 36 receptions for 449 yards and a career-high five touchdowns in 16 games with seven starts.

Patriots first-round draft pick Jerod Mayo figured that if he was picked high in the NFL draft he would be part of a rebuilding process.

I never thought I'd be able to come to a team that only lost one game," Mayo said Thursday.

"Taping a walkthrough is much different from what I punished them for," the NFL commissioner said Thursday at a meeting of a group representing the Associated Press Sports Editors.
