Patriots re-signed S Jaylinn Hawkins to a one-year, $2.25 million contract.
Hawkins will handle backup safety duties while primarily contributing on special teams. He earned a 69.5 PFF special teams grade last year, though he does not return punts nor kicks.
The Athletic’s Chad Graff reports “it’s still unknown” whether TreVeyon Henderson “can be a true bell-cow back instead of just a good third-down back.”
The Athletic’s Chad Graff believes it’s “not hyperbole” to say “no player did more to improve his standing on the [Patriots] depth chart than Efton Chism” this spring.
ESPN’s Mike Reiss did not list Patriots WR Ja’Lynn Polk (shoulder) as a lock to make the roster and believes he could be a candidate for the physically unable to perform list to open training camp.
