Gabe Jacas

No. 50

Second-round pick, no pen to paper yet

Getting drafted is supposed to be the easy part. The hard part — the negotiating, the waiting, the limbo — comes right after.

Gabe Jacas came out of Illinois and was taken in the second round by the New England Patriots. That kind of selection carries real expectations: a roster spot, a role to grow into, a chance to prove the team right. But as of now, there is no signed contract.

For a second-round pick, unsigned means unsettled. It means Jacas is not yet officially a Patriot in anything but name — no ink, no guarantee, just a draft position and a team waiting on the other side of a table.

What gets resolved, and when, will say a lot about how this chapter starts.
