The Patriots signed Romo to a reserve/future contract Monday.
New England signed Romo to its practice squad Dec. 10, and it appears he'll remain with the Patriots after inking a new deal Monday. The 27-year-old filled in for the injured Will Reichard for four games in Minnesota this season, converting on 11 of his 12 field-goal attempts and seven of his eight extra-point tries. Current Pats' kicker Joey Slye made just 79 percent (26 of 33) of his field-goal attempts this season, so Romo could be competing for the team's starting spot in the offseason.
