BOSTON -- The New England Patriots have signed seventh-round picks defensive lineman Kade Weston and quarterback Zac Robinson.

Eight of the team's 12 choices have signed. Rookies are scheduled to report to training camp on Sunday. Veterans are due three days later.

Weston, who started 20 of the 48 games he played at Georgia, was taken with the 248th overall selection.

Robinson, Oklahoma State's career leader with 10,175 yards of total offense and 8,317 yards passing, was chosen two picks later.

Patriots make Forbes top 10: For all the turmoil and talk of debt, Manchester United is still the most valuable franchise in all of sports.

Forbes released its list of the world's most valuable teams Wednesday, with the English Premier League club leading the way at $1.84 billion.

The top American franchise, the Dallas Cowboys, was second at $1.65 billion. The New York Yankees, Washington Redskins, New England Patriots, Real Madrid, New York Giants, Arsenal, New York Jets and Houston Texans round out the top 10.

Amid protests from fans, Manchester United's owning Glazer family has insisted it will not entertain offers for the club, which has around $1 billion of debt.
