On April 21st, players are back at Gillette Stadium for the voluntary off-season workouts and full-back Jack Westover just made it official by signing, his one-year tender with the New England Patriots. That non-guaranteed deal is worth $1.075 million for 2026. The team tendered the 26-year-old exclusive rights-free agent back in March since he had fewer than three accrued seasons. They beefed up the full-backs by two, grabbing Regigilium from the Buffalo Bills on the three-year, $10.8 million contract, while Brock Lampey rounds out the depth after sitting out last year on injured reserve. Westover started as an undrafted free agent with the Seattle Seahawks, got hurt, settled up, then joined the Pats practice squad in fall of 20, 24. He earned two elevations, hit the 53-man roster by Rookie Year's End, and stuck as a converted full-back from tight-end at the University of Washington. He played every game for the AFC champs, starting four times, hauling in two catches, logging 317 offensive snaps and 200.
38, on special teams all the way to Super Bowl 60. Meanwhile, the Pats snagged a roster exemption for offensive tackle Lorenz Mets through the NFL International Player Pathway. He signed a futures deal. Back in February, depth keeps building as they gear up. That's your update from NFL News Today, powered by AI.
