What happened: New England announced the second-round pick's contract Sunday, closing the league's last outstanding rookie deal. Jacas had been the NFL's only unsigned second-rounder Friday.

Why it matters: The agreement clears the No. 55 selection to join the Patriots during training camp for the upcoming season. New England can now evaluate Jacas after he missed the spring offseason program.

By the numbers: Jacas totaled 183 tackles, 27 sacks and seven forced fumbles across 50 college games.

What to watch: Attention turns to when Jacas takes his first training-camp reps with New England.
