Patriots sign 6 players to futures contracts, including wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson

With their 2021 season over, the New England Patriots have signed six players to reserve/futures contracts.

New England will retain wide receivers Kristian Wilkerson, Tre Nixon and Malcolm Perry, as well as running back Devine Ozigbo, offensive lineman William Sherman and place kicker Quinn Nordin. All but Perry ended the season on the team’s practice squad.

Wilkerson, 25, enters his third year with the Patriots. Despite spending the entire 2021 season on New England’s developmental roster, the second-year wide receiver did see some in-game action. Wilkerson was a standard elevation four times, playing a combined 67 offensive snaps over three games.
