Report: Patriots signing veteran safety to one-year deal

The New England Patriots aren't done adding in NFL free agency.

The Patriots are signing former Los Angeles Chargers and Atlanta Falcons safety Jaylinn Hawkins to a one-year contract, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported Thursday.

Hawkins started 16 games for the Falcons in 2022, recording two interceptions, six pass breakups and 84 tackles. The Falcons waived him in October 2023, however, and he finished the campaign with the Chargers, tallying just 11 tackles in 10 games that included three starts.
