ARRIVALS

FB Reggie Gilliam - Reported Signed (first reported by Mike Garafolo from NFL Network)

Analysis: Josh McDaniels has long employed a fullback in his offense so the reported signing of the Bills longtime fullback should not come as a surprise. Gilliam's three-year deal shows the Patriots have long-term plans for him as they look to round out their offensive backfield. Gilliam has just 16 career receptions and eight career rushing attempts, but should play a key role leading the way in short-yardage situations.

DE Dre'Mont Jones - Reportedly Signed (first reported by Dianna Russini from The Athletic)

Analysis: Jones put together his most productive season in 2025, splitting time between the Titans and Ravens while picking up a career-high seven sacks. He's been a consistent performer over his seven-year career, playing his first four years with Denver, then spending two with the Seahawks. Jones has 69 career starts and 22 career sacks and provides solid veteran depth at a position of offseason need.
