One year after joining the New England Patriots as a free agent, Chris Board’s tenure with the team is already coming to an end. The veteran linebacker and core special teamer will be released by the club, as reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero on Monday morning.
Board, 28, appeared in all 17 of the Patriots’ games in 2023. Tying Brenden Schooler with a team-high 407 kicking game snaps, he was used on five units and finished the year ranked second with 10 tackles. His defensive output, meanwhile, was limited to one snap in a last-play-of-the-game setting in Week 16.
