Patriots try out 2 edge rushers ahead of Bills game
The Patriots are looking at a pair of free agents heading into Week 4.
The New England Patriots welcomed two free agents, outside linebackers Victor Dimukeje and Eric Watts, for a tryout on Tuesday. Despite the meeting, neither player ultimately signed with the team. The Patriots currently have two vacant spots on their 53-man roster and one on their practice squad. Dimukeje, 26, began his NFL journey as a sixth-round draft pick from Duke University in 2021.
He played as a starter for the Cardinals and contributed in 55 games over four seasons. As a versatile player, he amassed 67 tackles and four sacks. Watts, 25, arrived from UConn as a rookie free agent in 2024. He played 18 games for the Jets, accumulating 23 tackles. Both players are part of the Patriots' roster planning ahead of their upcoming game against the Bills.
