They signed the 27 year old to a one year deal after his release from the Arizona Cardinals. This move aims to bolster special teams and provide depth at linebacker. With 90 roster spots open and plenty of salary calf space, the Patriots can afford low-risk additions like this. Lucetta brings experience from 37 games over three seasons, including time on special team's units. Analysts have mixed takes on the signing. Burn Bookmaster gave it a C++, calling it Smart Dep at a thin spot. Mass St. Gene rated it a C, seeing practice squad potential. Pat Lane handed out a D++, viewing it as a long shot flyer. Lucetta gained some fame for a voice memo he sent to J.J. Watt upon Watt's retirement. He hopes to carve out a role in New England, starting with training camp battles this summer.

1:01Overall, it's a low-cost bet that could pay off if he sticks around, but expectations remain modest for now. We'll watch how he performs in the coming weeks. DnN is brought to you by our sponsor. Layback, press play. Let the pillow do the rest. Sound meets comfort. So L.I. SoleyPillow.com
