Amidst the commotion of the NFL's roster cutdown deadline, the Patriots continue to be presented with opportunities to reunite with some of their former players who make sense for their current roster. The latest of which is one who is familiar with not only New England but also Josh McDaniels, as he followed the current offensive coordinator to the Raiders when he became their head coach in 2022.
It was announced on Tuesday afternoon that fullback Jakob Johnson had been released from the Texans, where he spent this past offseason. He was with the Giants in 2024, participating in only three games, and is now seeking the next stop in his NFL career.
