The New England Patriots reset their roster on Friday, moving on from four players who were all signed during the 2024 season, the club announced.
The Patriots released veteran center Lecitus Smith, linebackers Curtis Jacobs and Andrew Parker, Jr. and tackle Caleb Jones.
Smith was signed by the Patriots from the Green Bay Packers practice squad in October and played in eight games for New England, with one start as a tackle-eligible tight end against the New York Jets in Week 8. Smith provided depth at center after the Patriots lost David Andrews to a season-ending torn rotator cuff.
