| | Stubblefield added to the mix - The Boston Globe |
 | | The Patriots signed Stubblefield, 33, the league's defensive rookie of the year in 1993 and defensive player of the year in 1997, likely for a year at the veteran minimum ($760,000). |
 | | Stubblefield spent last season with Oakland, managing only 18 tackles and no sacks in eight games, though, when healthy, he was effective. |
 | | Stubblefield was among four Raiders -- Bill Romanowski, Chris Cooper, and Barret Robbins were the others -- who tested positive last season for the designer steroid THG, but because they did so before Oct. 6 (when the league retested samples), the NFL did not suspend them for four games. |
