The Patriots are reportedly among the teams interested in 35-year-old tight end Delanie Walker, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Walker, a free agent looking to find a home for his 15th NFL season, could be a good fit for the Patriots, after tight end Matt LaCosse opted out of the 2020 season. Walker would bring a veteran presence to a position where the Patriots lack experience, as no tight end on the team’s depth chart has more than two years of NFL experience.
2018 seventh-round draft pick Ryan Izzo played in six games last season, catching six passes for 114 yards.
