BOSTON - Following her appearance on ABC's "Superstars," The Boston Globe is reporting that model Joanna Krupa has signed a three(3) year multi-million dollar deal with football's New England Patriots. Though the terms of the contract are not yet disclosed, it is believed that New England head coach Bill Belichick intends to use her as a defensive back, opposite cornerback Shawn Springs as a means to completely shut down Terrell Owens, of the division rival Buffalo Bills.
Though calls to Krupa's agent were not immediately returned, members of the Patriots organization are already excited for her arrival and welcome her with open arms. Said LB Adalius Thomas, "We're absolutely thrilled to have her here. Anytime you bring on such a versatile athlete, you add a whole new dimension to your game."
However, Krupa's transition to pro football will not be without growing pains. "Well, she will have to put in a lot of work to pick up our defensive zones and schemes; and there will certainly be an adjustment to the pro game. But I'm very confident that she will catch on quickly and become an immediate impact player. She's already shown her ability with the way she handled [Terrell] Owens, and he's one of the best. That's why she's here" said Belichick.
Between former Redskin Shawn Springs and Krupa, the Patriots figure to have a potent 1-2 punch vs TO. As fate would have it, Springs and Owens have played in the same division throughout their careers, so Springs knows a thing or two about shutting down the prolific receiver. "We train together every offseason. I've been shutting [Owens] down for years now. Didn't you see it last year when we played in Dallas? I'm built for this. With Joanna added to the mix, I'd be surprised if he caught anything other than an [butt]-whoopin" Springs said.
Only the season can tell what is in store for Owens and the Patriots, but for now the word in Boston is "Anticipation." Check out the video below to see Krupa hone her craft.
