NFL Rumors: Patriots signing ex-Raiders tight end Paul Butler

The New England Patriots reportedly are adding another body at tight end as training camp ramps up.

The Patriots are signing free-agent tight end Paul Butler, NESN.com's Doug Kyed reported Monday.

Butler signed with the then-Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and spent most of the 2019 season on injured reserve before joining the Detroit Lions last December.
