The New England Patriots are moving on from Jabrill Peppers.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Friday that New England released the veteran safety, ending a three-year stint that began in 2022.
The decision follows weeks of speculation that Peppers was not an ideal fit in head coach Mike Vrabel’s system with new defensive coordinator Terrell Williams, as noted by NBC Sports Boston’s Myles Simmons.
Peppers, 29, had three years left on his deal, including more than $4 million guaranteed for 2025. A former Cleveland Browns first-round pick, he has logged 99 career appearances with 85 starts, seven interceptions and 5.
