The Patriots reportedly made a minor roster move this week to give themselves a bit of financial wiggle room.
New England “slightly reworked” special teamer Cody Davis’ contract, freeing up $250,000 in salary cap space, according to a report Tuesday from ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
The restructure did not extend Davis’ deal, per Reiss’ report, with the 33-year-old still set to hit free agency after this season. Following the move, the Patriots have roughly $2 million in available cap space with eight games remaining in the regular season.
Davis, who joined the Patriots in 2020, will be unavailable for those games as he recovers from a season-ending knee injury suffered during the Patriots’ Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns.
