Patriots Shore Up Line, Save Cap Space

0:00It's March 23rd. From kickoff to the final whistle, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. The New England Patriots made a couple of roster tweaks this week, releasing quarterback Joshua Dobs and signing offensive tackle James Hudson, the third. These moves helped shore up their quarterback depth and add some much-needed experience along the offensive line behind starters Drake May and Morgan. Moses. Austin brings 60 games of pro-experience, including 19 starts at both tackle positions, stepping in as a versatile backup. The team lost some depth this offseason with free agent departures and injuries, leaving them thin before this low-risk, one-year deal worth around. $1 million on the cap. Patriots coach Mike Raeble has praised backup Tommy DeVito's growth after last season, now sliding him into the main backup role to May. The Dobs release saves about $3 million in cap space, with no guaranteed money left on his deal, making it a smart financial play.

They'll likely add a third quarterback soon, too, maybe a rookie to keep the room fresh through Cam. These changes keep the Patriots flexible as they bill for the long haul, balancing immediate knees with future planning.
