Orono, Maine -- Following their performances at NFL rookie minicamp, two more former Black Bears have inked deals in the NFL. Sterling Sheffield has earned a free agent deal with the Cincinnati Bengals while Micah Wright will sign with the New Orleans Saints.

The duo join Drew Belcher (Arizona Cardinals) as the latest Black Bears to earn their spot in the NFL.

Both Sheffield and Wright earned their spots after being invited to rookie minicamp on a tryout basis while Belcher was signed as an undrafted free agent following the NFL draft on April 27. Wright also previously had a tryout with the Cardinals.
