Patriots running back Eric Kettani has finally been cleared to return to the NFL on a fulltime basis, as the United States Navy released him from active duty Wednesday to complete Kettani's lengthy appeal process. Kettani served two years of active duty before he was granted select reserve status last year, which allowed him to attend training camp.

Patriots trade up again and select Dont’a Hightower
What in the world is going on, two trade ups!??! For those of you who have been paying attention you know I didn’t see the Hightower fit for the Pats because he seemed too much like Spikes.
But there’s no question he’s a talented linebacker and I will be extremely curious to see how the Pats plan to use him. Whether itâ...
New England Patriots select Dont’a Hightower, Grade B
I’m not crazy about this pick for the New England Patriots, but I’ll give Bill Belichick the benefit of the doubt. I don’t see Dont’a Hightower as a great fit in New England’s defense, but I have to assume Belichick has a specific plan for him. It will be interesting to see where he lines up, either at inside or outside linebacker. Or maybe even at defensive end in some...

Ex-Patriot McGinest Calls WR Wes Welker A "Diva" For Not Attending Minicamp
Ex-Patriots have been thoroughly conditioned (or brainwashed, depending on how you look at it) by coach Bill Belichick to put team first over personal goals at all times. Given that, it was not surprising to hear NFL Network analyst Willie McGinest blast Wes Welker for saying he would probably not attend the team's mandatory minicamp in May unless he receives a long-term contract...
