Patriots' Double Fullback Move: B Backs or Tight Ends?

0:00On April 21st, Patriots made waves in their 2026 off season by grabbing full-back Regigilium from the Bills on a three-year deal worth. $10,800,000. After clinching the AFC Championship, they also resigned their own full-back Jack Westover for $1,000,000 bucks next season. These moves stand out since full-backs are pretty rare in today's NFL game. Gillium spent his first six seasons blocking for Buffalo, while Westover logged all 17 regular season games plus four playoff ones over two. Years earning just over $1,300,000 total so far. Fans scratched their heads over this double full-back dip, especially with so few teams even carrying one these days. It's got folks wondering if New England is flipping the script on modern offenses. Word is offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels wants to deploy them as quote-unquote B-backs, shifting from the usual half-back spot to tight-end looks. Hands in the dirt or offset on the line. That could patch up their thin tight-end group without a big splash.
