The New England Patriots have reportedly agreed to terms on a four-year deal with rookie punter Bryce Baringer, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
Baringer’s name was called off the 2023 NFL draft board with the No. 192 overall pick in the sixth round. He was the second specialist taken by the Patriots on Day 3. The team also traded up in the fourth round to get kicker Chad Ryland.
A move at punter was likely with Jake Bailey being released back in March. Bailey struggled throughout the 2022 season after being made one of the top-three highest-paid punters in the league.
