Patriots rookie Jacas focused on present after delayed signing

New England Patriots second-round pick Gabe Jacas, who was the last member of the 2025 draft class to sign his NFL contract, is putting his delayed start behind him. The linebacker did not participate in the offseason program and had a surgical procedure on his left knee, but says he's now "100 percent" and looking forward to making an impact on the field.

Jacas declined to discuss why his contract signing was delayed until camp was underway, stating "it doesn't matter" and that all the past issues are behind him. The Patriots included an injury waiver in his contract to protect against potential future knee issues. playerbros.org
