Patriots Reportedly Sign Versatile Defensive Lineman

The New England Patriots’ first reported move on the first official day of free agency saw them poach a former Pittsburgh Steelers pass-rusher named Watts.

No, not Watt. Watts.

The Patriots are signing free agent defensive lineman Armon Watts to a one-year deal worth up to $3 million, according to Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. Is that not the guys you though we were talking about?

Watts is a depth signing for the Patriots, who desperately needed to add bodies on the interior defensive line after releasing Lawrence Guy in February.
