The Facts:
In a move solidifying the management punch that has helped elevate the Patriots to the top of the NFL, Pioli signed a lucrative contract extension with the club on Friday. The 40-year-old vice president of player personnel was working under a contract that was set to expire after the 2006 draft.

Although Bill Belichick has final say over all personnel matters, Pioli has played a major role in the team's success. He has, in fact, won the last two George Young Awards, honoring the NFL's Executive of the Year. The Pats big move last offseason was the acquisition of running back Corey Dillon from the Bengals for a second-round pick. Dillon rushed for 1,635 yards and 12 touchdowns.
