The New England Patriots plan to sign tight end Jordan Leggett and defensive tackle Darius Kilgo, pending physicals and COVID-19 tests, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Leggett, 25, is a four-year veteran who has played for the New York Jets and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He logged receptions in just one season, 2018, when he had 14 catches for 114 yards and a touchdown. The 6-foot-5 veteran entered the NFL as a fifth-round pick out of Clemson in 2017.
Kilgo, 28, will begin his second stint with the Patriots after playing with New England in 2016 and 2017 when spent time between the practice squad and the active roster. He has also spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans and Detroit Lions. He has logged 16 career tackles.
Leggett joins a tight end group which saw Matt LaCosse opt out this offseason due to concerns about coronavirus. The Patriots have tight end Devin Asiasi, Dalton Keene and Ryan Izzo, among others. Kilgo, meanwhile, joins defensive tackles Lawrence Guy, Adam Butler, Byron Cowart and Bill Murray.
