Despite being on a plane ride to Wisconsin for joint practices with the Green Bay Packers, the New England Patriots were still busy with multiple roster transactions on Tuesday.
They confirmed the signing of former XFL linebacker Carson Wells, along with announcing the releases of defensive lineman DaMarcus Mitchell and long snapper Tucker Addington.
Mitchell was a significant contributor for the Patriots on special teams in 2022. He appeared in 16 games and was in on 71 percent of the special teams snaps that season.
Meanwhile, Addington was always considered a long-shot to make the roster with Patriots veteran long snapper Joe Cardona signing a new four-year deal with the team in the offseason.
