The Patriots re-signed a pair of their own players on back-to-back days.
A day after it was announced that Matthew Slater would return, the Patriots agreed on a contract with offensive tackle Conor McDermott, The Boston Globe’s Jim McBride reported late Saturday.
McDermott joined the Patriots late in the 2022 season as the team struggled with their play at both offensive tackle spots. Just over a week after he was signed from the New York Jets’ practice squad, McDermott started at right tackle in the Patriots’ Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
