One of the biggest questions this year for newly minted head coach Jerod Mayo and the New England Patriots regards their offensive line, which was one of the worst units anywhere in the NFL a season ago. The lack of stability in that department has given some fans cause to wonder whether that will affect Mayo's quarterback decision, and with the season quickly approaching, the Patriots are now taking strides to address those shortcomings by claiming players on waivers.
According to Field Yates of ESPN on X, formerly Twitter, the Patriots on Thursday claimed both Zachary Thomas and Demontrey Jacobs off of waivers in order to bolster their offensive line depth.
