After making no outside acquisitions over the first two days of the NFL’s legal tampering period, the New England Patriots have finally made a move. As first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the team has signed cornerback Terrance Mitchell to a one-year, $3 million contract.
Mitchell, 29, originally entered the NFL as a seventh-round draft selection by the Dallas Cowboys in 2014. However, he failed to make the team’s roster and over the next few seasons bounced around the league: the Oregon product spent time in Chicago, back in Dallas, in Houston twice as well as in Kansas City and Cleveland.
