New England Patriots head coach Ron Meyer said Wednesday his team must wait a week until it has a chance to sign former UCLA quarterback Tom Ramsey to a contract.

Ramsey was waived Tuesday by the Oakland Invaders of th United State Football League.

He was a Patriots' 10th round draft choice in the 1983 draft.

He played the past season for the Invaders and the 1983 season for the L.A. Express.

Meyer said if Ramsey is signed, he would battle for a third string quarterback position behind veteran Steve Grogan and back-up Tony Eason. The No. 3 spot was held last year by Mike Kerrigan.

We've been notified that we can talk to him in seven days,” Meyer said. “We have to wait for him to clear waivers in the USFL.”
