The Patriots’ 2019 training camp practices begin tomorrow, and they continue to tinker with the roster, adding a veteran tight end. First reported by Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network and his sources, the Patriots have signed tight end Lance Kendricks to a one-year deal. This was confirmed by the player’s agent David Canter.
Kendricks, 31, tips the scales at 6’3, 250 pounds, is an eight-year NFL veteran. Kendricks was originally a second-round pick (47th overall) of the St. Louis Rams in 2011. He played his first six NFL seasons with the Rams. In his rookie season, Kendricks would have played for Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels.
