According to NFL reporter Tom Pelissero, the New England Patriots are signing former Pittsburgh Steelers free agent defensive tackle Armon Watts. The contract is one year and $3 million.
Watts spent the 2023 season with the Steelers after a season with the Chicago Bears and three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. Watts played about 24 percent of the total defensive snaps, most of those coming when veteran Cam Heyward went down with injury.
