The Patriots signed three players who tried out for the team during rookie minicamp and released one undrafted free agent in a corresponding roster move.<\/p>\n
The Patriots signed defensive tackle Isaiah Iton, who was with the Titans last season, and rookie free agents guard Mehki Butler and defensive tackle Wilfried Pene.<\/p>\n
The Patriots released tackle Cole Birdow, who signed as an undrafted free agent on Friday.<\/p>\n
Pene, who\u2019s from France and played at Virginia Tech, does not count against the Patriots\u2019 90-man roster because they\u2019ll get an international exemption for the 24-year-old defensive lineman\u2019s spot.<\/p>\n
Iton, 23, spent his college career at Ole Miss and Rutgers. Butler, 24, played collegiately at Arkansas State and Iowa Western Community College.<\/p>\n
Birdow, 24, was a local product, finishing his college career at Merrimack after transferring from Old Dominion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Patriots signed three players who tried out for the team during rookie minicamp and released one undrafted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45712,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5],"tags":[80,833,839,7,838,49,48,249,6,15,835,832,208,836,834,831,837],"class_list":{"0":"post-45711","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-2025-nfl-draft","9":"tag-drake-maye","10":"tag-eliot-wolf","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-mike-vrabel","13":"tag-ncaa","14":"tag-ncaa-football","15":"tag-new-england-patriots","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-nfl-draft","18":"tag-nfl-news","19":"tag-nfl-rumors","20":"tag-patriots","21":"tag-patriots-2025","22":"tag-patriots-news","23":"tag-patriots-rumors","24":"tag-robert-kraft"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114498259181600796","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45711\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
