Stoops and Co. on hand

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops and several members of his staff are on the sidelines today, getting an up-close view of the Patriots.

Every couple of minutes, you can see a couple of the Sooner coaches lean into each other, talking about a play they just saw.

Meriweather on the field

Hey all -

After weeding through another day of traffic - this time because of the masses headed here for the country music festival - we have settled in here.

Brandon Meriweather is on the field, sporting the number 31 and dreadlocks that are a lot longer than we remember them.

We'll be back with more shortly.

Meriweather signing official

The Patriots have just announced that first-round draft pick Brandon Meriweather has signed a contract with the team.

The terms of the deal are not yet known, but it is believed to be a five-year deal, the maximum allowed for later first round picks.

Meriweather should make his debut in this afternoon's practice session. A hamstring injury kept him off the field for June mini-camp.

Practice today is closed to the public due to a country music festival going on at Gillette.
