Patriots reportedly release Keionta Davis after bolstering defensive edge in the draft

The New England Patriots were quite busy over the weekend, adding a total of 10 players to their roster during the draft and reportedly signing an additional 16 men in the subsequent free agency period. The moves created the need to free up space under the 90-man offseason roster limit, however, which led to the Patriots recently making their first post-draft cut: according to The Athletic’s Jeff Howe, the team has released Keionta Davis.

Davis originally arrived in New England as an undrafted rookie in 2017, but he had to spend his entire rookie season on the sidelines due to a neck injury that was diagnosed at the scouting combine.
