New England Patriots News & Rumors

Minor NFL Transactions: 4/29/25

April 29th, 2025 at 6:45pm CST by Ely Allen

Tuesday’s minor transactions from across the NFL:

Arizona Cardinals

Released: G Matthew Jones, TE Bernhard Seikovits

Detroit Lions

Waived (failed physical designation): WR Antoine Green

Green Bay Packers

Signed ERFA tenders: WR Bo Melton, P Daniel Whelan, RB Emanuel Wilson

Houston Texans

Claimed off waivers (from Patriots): C Jake Andrews

Jacksonville Jaguars

Received roster exemption (international player): WR Louis Rees-Zammit

New Orleans Saints

Waived: DT Ryder Anderson

Seattle Seahawks

Waived: LB Michael Dowell, QB Jaren Hall, C Mike Novitsky, OLB Kenneth Odumegwu

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Waived: WR Marquez Callaway, CB Dallis Flowers, OLB Daniel Grzesiak, WR Tanner Knue

Tennessee Titans

Claimed off waivers (from Patriots): LB Titus Leo, S Mark Perry
Waived: G Arlington Hambright, T Isaiah Prince

A fifth-round pick out of BYU, Hall was part of a three-quarterback solutions to a season-ending Kirk Cousins injury in 2023. Alongside Nick Mullens and Joshua Dobbs, Hall started two of three game appearances for Minnesota as a rookie, only attempting 20 passes in that time. After trading for Sam Howell to back up J.J. McCarthy, in addition to retaining Brett Rypien and signing undrafted Golden Gophers quarterback Max Brosmer, Hall became the odd man out.

Patriots Release LS Joe Cardona

April 29th, 2025 at 3:15pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Patriots have now cut ties with every player who had been part of their Super Bowl core. After moving on from Jonathan Jones, David Andrews and Deatrich Wise earlier this offseason, the team is parting ways with its long snapper from the second leg of its dynasty.

New England released Joe Cardona on Tuesday. This came after the Pats used a seventh-round pick on a deep snapper Saturday. Cardona had been with the Pats for 10 seasons. He entered the offseason tied with Andrews as the team’s longest-tenured player, but a Pats draft move changed his course.

Although the team obtained the Mr. Irrelevant pick, that did not go to Cardona’s replacement. Instead, the Pats chose Vanderbilt’s Julian Ashby six spots earlier. The only team to use a draft choice specifically on a long snapper this year, the Patriots served notice Cardona’s time could be up. Rather than a competition, Cardona will have a chance to catch on elsewhere soon.

The light workload long snappers consume keeps their salaries in the NFL basement, but it also allows for long careers. Cardona’s experience certainly should put him in line for consideration elsewhere, even as he has spent his entire career in Foxborough. Bill Belichick used a fifth-round pick on Cardona in 2015, choosing him 166th overall out of Navy. He teamed with Stephen Gostkowski during the Adam Vinatieri successor’s final stretch in New England and collected two Super Bowl rings, playing in three Super Bowls in total.

Cardona signed three Patriots contracts, inking two four-year deals as a veteran. Two seasons remained on Cardona’s third New England accord — a four-year, $6.3MM pact — but the Patriots will incur only $500K in dead money from this release. While no Pro Bowls are on Cardona’s resume, it would surprise if the 33-year-old snapper did not resurface for an 11th NFL season elsewhere.

The Pats lost Jones and Wise to the Commanders in free agency, while the team cut Andrews after he missed most of last season. Although the most memorable chapter in Patriots history effectively closed when Belichick was forced out (four years after Tom Brady‘s exit changed the franchise’s trajectory), the team officially wrapped it by moving on from the above-referenced quartet of Super Bowl contributors this year.

Minor NFL Transactions: 4/28/25

April 28th, 2025 at 8:51pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here are Monday’s minor moves:

Carolina Panthers

Claimed (from Raiders): CB M.J. Devonshire
Signed: LB Mapalo Mwansa (International Pathway Program)

Green Bay Packers

Signed ERFA tender: LB Zayne Anderson
Waived: DT Leonard Payne

New England Patriots

Waived: OL Jake Andrews, DL Marcus Harris, WR JaQuae Jackson, LB Titus Leo, S Mark Perry, TE Giovanni Ricci

The Raiders’ Tom Telesco-led regime chose Devonshire in last year’s seventh round. After seeing no game action as a rookie, Devonshire will vie for a roster spot with the Panthers. Three seasons remain on Devonshire’s rookie contract.

Ricci saw extensive action for the Panthers from 2021-23, starting four games in that span. He caught eight passes for 100 yards in 2022. The Colts used a sixth-round pick on Leo in 2023; he played in four Pats games last season.

Patriots Select CB Kobee Minor At No. 257

April 26th, 2025 at 6:12pm CST by Adam La Rose

Entering the seventh round, the 257th and final selection of the 2025 draft belonged to the Chiefs. Kansas City traded up in the round, however, in a deal which left New England in position to wrap up the event.

The Patriots have selected cornerback Kobee Minor at No. 257. As a result, the Memphis product has the distinction of being this year’s ‘Mr. Irrelevant.’

Like many other prospects in this year’s class, Minor spent time at multiple schools during his time in college. He started out at Texas Tech, making a total of 23 appearances with the Red Raiders. After three seasons in the Big 12, Minor transferred to Indiana and played there for one year. In 2024, he was on the move once more, playing at Memphis.

Minor set new career highs across the board during his lone season with the Tigers. He posted 38 tackles (including seven for a loss), along with a pair of sacks, six pass deflections and two forced fumbles. Given his size – 5-11, 188 pounds – however, it very much remained to be seen entering the draft if his name would be called. Now, Minor will turn his attention to competing for a roster spot in New England.

The Patriots focused on a number of areas during the draft, but this pick is the only one including the cornerback position. The team’s depth chart will be topped by returnee Christian Gonzalez along with free agent acquisition Carlton Davis in 2025. New England also has the likes of Marcus Jones and Alex Austin in the fold. Minor will look to carve out a role amongst that group (presumably on special teams, of course) during training camp. If he is unable to do so, he will be a practice squad candidate to begin the campaign.

Lions Trade Up To No. 171 For G Miles Frazier

April 26th, 2025 at 2:31pm CST by Ely Allen

The Lions have traded up, exchanging places with the Patriots, in order to select LSU guard Miles Frazier. In order to acquire the pick, Detroit sent pick Nos. 182 and 228 to New England.

The Lions gained access to the 182nd pick, an early-sixth-rounder, from the Jaguars. The 228th pick, a seventh-rounder, was acquired from Dallas in a package that allowed Detroit to select cornerback Terrion Arnold last year.

It’s a bit shocking to see Frazier come off the board in the fifth round. The 23-year-old was projected to be a Day 2 pick after three years starting in Baton Rouge (and a year starting at FIU before that). Frazier played all over the offensive line in college, starting 28 games at right guard, 12 games at left tackle, nine games at left guard, and two games at right tackle. That kind of versatility made Frazier the 61st-best prospect in NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah‘s rankings.

Frazier is a mauler in the run game who can drive defenders backwards and refuses to release his blocks. He doesn’t do too much exceptionally in pass protection, which may have hurt his stock here. He struggles to move laterally in order to cover quick gap rushers, and when he does recognize the rush, his feet can get caught in quicksand, leaving him lunging off balance.

Guard was a perceived weakness in Detroit, and they already added a potential starter in the second round with Georgia’s Tate Ratledge. Graham Glasgow is slotted in at left guard, and despite a 2024 step back, he has proven reliable in the past. The other spot, vacated by Kevin Zeitler‘s departure in free agency, is up for competition between Kayode Awosika, Netane Muti, and Christian Mahogany, at the moment. Awosika started two games for the team last year, and Muti has logged only four starts in a five-year career; Mahogany flashed promising form in his one start and across limited backup time as a rookie last season. Frazier adds some depth, where Ratledge provides starting potential.

Patriots Acquire No. 137, Select DT Joshua Farmer

April 26th, 2025 at 12:57pm CST by Ben Levine

The Patriots are set to make their second selection of the day. The team has acquired No. 137 from the Seahawks, per Mike Giardi of Boston Sports Journal. In return, the Seahawks received No. 144 and No. 238.

After picking offensive players with their first four selections, the Patriots have started Day 3 with a pair of defensive players. New England used their new pick to select Florida State defensive tackle Joshua Farmer.

The defensive lineman put himself on the NFL map with a strong 2023 campaign, compiling five sacks en route to a second-team All-ACC nod. Farmer continued that production into 2024, finishing with 32 tackles, four sacks, and eight tackles for loss. The prospect has been lauded for his raw power, although there are questions about his ability to recognize impending blocks.

The Patriots put in work to improve their defensive line this offseason. Milton Williams was one of the team’s most high-profile additions, and the organization also added nose tackle Khyiris Tonga to pair with traditional defensive tackle Christian Barmore. Farmer will slide in behind that trio, with the rookie competing with Jeremiah Pharms Jr. and Eric Johnson for reps.

Patriots Deal No. 85 To Chiefs

April 25th, 2025 at 9:29pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Chiefs already made a move for a cornerback this offseason, giving Kristian Fulton a two-year deal worth $20MM. But the AFC dynasty will keep going here.

New England dealt Kansas City No. 85, and the Chiefs took cornerback Nohl Williams out of Cal. The Chiefs will send the Pats No. 95 and a 2026 fourth-rounder.

Kansas City did not see its L’Jarius Sneed replacement cadre impress last season, though Jaylen Watson missed most of it due to a broken leg. The Eagles picked on him in Super Bowl LIX, however, likely contributing to the increased commitment this offseason. Kansas City also has Johnson and Joshua Williams in contract years. Trent McDuffie technically joins the 2022 draftees, but the All-Pro will see his fifth-year option exercised before the May 1 deadline.

McDuffie and Fulton are poised to start on the outside for the Chiefs, with McDuffie proving an elite slot stopper on occasion as well. Nohl Williams joins a somewhat crowded cadre of cogs vying for time behind the team’s top two cover men.

The younger of the Chiefs’ two CB Williamses will head to Missouri after displaying elite ball production in his final Cal season. Nohl grabbed seven interceptions, pacing Division I-FBS in 2024. He also served as the Golden Bears’ kick returner, taking one back for a score. Williams transferred from UNLV in 2023.

Panthers Acquire 77th Pick From Patriots, Select Princely Umanmielen

April 25th, 2025 at 9:10pm CST by Nikhil Mehta

The Panthers traded up with the Patriots to acquire the 77th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft and selected Ole Miss edge rusher Princely Umanmielen.

Carolina will send their third-rounder (No. 85 overall) and fifth-rounder (No. 146 overall) to New England, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.

Umanmielen has a solid, NFL-ready frame but relies too much on speed and finesse to beat blocks with lackluster power and physicality. He started for two seasons at Florida before transferring to Ole Miss and recording 10.5 sacks in 2024, the second-most of any SEC defender. The 23-year-old will have to improve his ability to set the edge in the NFL, but his speed and bend off the edge will make him an effective pass-rusher. He also showed the ability to drop into coverage in college; while that’s not his strength, it does add some versatility to his game.

The Panthers were expected to take an EDGE with the No. 8 pick, but opted to add Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan instead. They then used their next two picks on edge rushers, selecting Texas A&M’s Nic Scourton at No. 51 and double-dipping with Umanmielen at 77.

Carolina has veteran players who will likely top the depth chart in 2025 in Jadeveon Clowney, D.J. Wonnum, and Patrick Jones, but Scourton and Umanmielen should play a role in the pass rush as rookies.
