The Patriots have released defensive back Jalen Mills, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The move will save the Patriots around $5 million in cap space, according to Schefter.
Mills missed seven games last season and recorded a career-low 31 tackles. He had a pair of interceptions and five passes defended.
Mills, who attended LSU, started 16 games for the Patriots in 2021 after arriving from Philadelphia. He was a member of the Eagles’ Super Bowl LII team that beat the Patriots.
Nicknamed “Green Goblin” in Philadelphia for his green hair, Mills kept his hair color during his time with the Patriots.
