The New England Patriots announced they were signing a former New York Giants linebacker ahead of the 2024 season. The Patriots are adding to their offseason roster before OTA practices in May.
The New England Patriots have agreed to some big deals on defense
The Patriots have recently made a couple of big signings in the secondary and on the defensive line. They extended safety Kyle Dugger earlier in the offseason and defensive tackle Christian Barmore–to the largest contract since Tom Brady was in New England.
Oshane Ximines signs with the Patriots
Per a statement by the Patriots, the signed veteran linebacker Oshane Ximines:
“28, is a veteran of five NFL seasons with the New York Giants after originally joining the team as a third-round draft pick (95th overall) out of Old Dominion. The 6-foot-4, 254-pounder, has played in 48 regular season games with nine starts and has registered 69 total tackles, 6 ½ sack, 6 passes defensed, 1 forced fumble, and 1 fumble recovery.
In addition, he has played in two postseason games but did not register any statistics in those games. Last season, Ximines spent most of the season on the practice squad but was elevated and played in three games, finishing with 4 total tackles.”
