McCourty comes to terms with Patriots

Football Betting Lines

07/28/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New England Patriots and first-round draft pick Devin McCourty have agreed to terms of a contract.

McCourty's agent, Andy Simms, posted the news on his Twitter feed Wednesday morning.

Terms of the deal for the former Rutgers cornerback were not disclosed, but the Boston Globe reported it to be a five-year pact.

McCourty becomes just the second of this year's first-round draft picks to reach a contract agreement, joining Dallas wide receiver Dez Bryant.

The Patriots selected McCourty with the 27th overall pick in April's draft. All of New England's draft choices have now agreed to contracts.

McCourty was a First-Team All-Big East choice in 2009, finishing second on the Rutgers defense with 80 tackles to go along with 10 pass breakups and one interception. He had six picks during his career and also blocked seven kicks while adding a kickoff return for a touchdown on special teams.

Football Betting: Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.

Bet on NFL Football

Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.

Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.

Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.

Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.

All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.

A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
