New England Patriots offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr. officially signed his exclusive rights free agent tender on Friday, per the Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed.
Wheatley was part of the trade that sent Pierre Strong Jr. to the Cleveland Browns in August 2023. He played in two games on special teams. His season was cut short in October after being placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. He was eligible to be activated in December, but ultimately, he was not activated by the team.
Wheatley will be able to work under offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt.
