The Patriots plan to sign tight end Jordan Leggett and defensive tackle Darius Kilgo after hosting both players for a visit Monday, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
After eight players opted out of the upcoming season, the Patriots have filled the newly created roster spots by signing Leggett and Kilgo, re-signing a trio undrafted rookies — wide receiver Will Hastings, quarterback Brian Lewerke, and wide receiver Isaiah Zuber — and trading a conditional seventh-round draft pick for cornerback Michael Jackson.
The team still has two openings on the 80-man roster.
