Patriots' Mitchell Wilcox: Inks new deal

Wilcox signed a contract with the Patriots on Monday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Wilcox now will call New England home after spending the first three campaigns of his career In Cincinnati. The 27-year-old appeared in all 17 regular-season games in 2023, mostly operating as the Bengals' No. 3 option at tight end and recording nine catches (on 12 targets) for 56 yards. If he can make the Patriots' roster this year, he'll likely be a depth option for them, too.
