Nose tackle Terrance Knighton has informed the New England Patriots that he will be signing with the team, although no contract has been signed yet, a source told ESPN's Dianna Russini.
Knighton tweeted Thursday that he had made a decision, then later sent out a picture of himself wearing a Patriots helmet.
The 29-year-old Knighton spent 2015 with the Washington Redskins after signing a one-year deal with incentives. He met with the Redskins earlier this week but left without signing a contract.
He played in both the Redskins' base 3-4 package as a nose tackle and in their nickel package as an interior rusher.
