The Facts:
The Patriots have signed Mills, the first of their two selections in the fourth round of the 2006 draft, to a four-year contract. Mills received a $462,500 signing bonus as part of a contract worth $2.072 million. The deal includes minimum base salaries for all four years, and an "escalator" that will allow Mills to increase his salary in 2009 based on predetermined playing time and performance levels.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Besides tight end, the versatile Mills can also play fullback and H-back, and was a superior special teams performer in college. New England also chose a tight end in the third round, Dave Thomas of Texas, and the former Longhorn likely will play more as a conventional tight end.
