The New England Patriots spent Monday and Tuesday cutting and waiving players and placing others on various lists to be at the mandated 53 roster spots by the NFL's deadline.
New England had the third waiver priority on Wednesday, and they claimed four players - offensive tackle Demontrey Davis, linebacker Curtis Jacobs, defensive tackle Eric Johnson and offensive tackle Zachary Thomas.
Here's what these players have done in their careers:
Demontrey Davis
Davis, 25, played collegiately at Grambling State (2017-19) and South Florida (2020-22) before joining the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent last offseason. He spent his entire rookie season on their practice squad.
Curtis Jacobs
Jacobs, 22, went undrafted this year out of Penn State and signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. In his four years with the Nittany Lions, he recorded 171 tackles, 9.5 sacks, four fumble recoveries, three passes defensed, two interceptions and a forced fumble.
Eric Johnson
Johnson, 26, was a fifth-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts out of Missouri State, where he earned Second-team All-MVFC. He appeared in 28 games for Indianapolis over two seasons, recording 18 tackles (one for a loss), three quarterback hits, one sack and a fumble recovery.
Zachary Thomas
Thomas, 26, was a sixth-round pick of the Chicago Bears out of San Diego State, where he earned First-team All-MW in 2021 and Second-team All-MW in 2020. He's appeared in three games over his first two seasons with the Los Angeles Rams at left tackle and right guard.
