All eyes this week are on what the New England Patriots will do with the No. 3 overall pick in Thursday’s NFL draft.
But the Patriots were busy a few days before the marquee offseason event by making a free-agent signing to add depth to their offense.
The Patriots announced Monday they signed tight end Mitchell Wilcox, who spent the last three seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Wilcox is more of a blocking tight end as he didn’t bring much to Cincinnati’s passing game.
