Patriots undrafted free agency tracker: News, rumors, signings, instant analysis
The Patriots will be trying to find some talent on the free agent market after the end of the 2025 NFL Draft.

LB Cam Riley (Florida State): After appearing in 46 games with 10 starts during four seasons at Auburn, Riley transferred to FSU. An off-the-ball linebacker and experienced special teamer, the 6-foot-4, 228-pounder added 12 more games and another start to his résumé.
OL Jack Conley (Boston College): Over the course of six seasons at BC, Conley set the school’s all-time record with 60 in-game appearances. The big-bodied lineman, who stand at 6-foot-6, 330 pounds, has starter experience at both right guard and right tackle.
RB Lan Larison (UC Davis): UC Davis’ all-time leader in career all-purpose yards, Larison carried the ball 284 times for 1,465 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2024 and also added 62 catches for 847 yards and 6 more scores. The 5-foot-10, 209-pounder projects as a multi-purpose back.
CB Brandon Crossley (SMU): After starting his career at Colorado State, Crossley spent five years at SMU. Primarily used as an outside cornerback, who registered six career interceptions, he moved all over the Mustangs’ secondary.
S Josh Minkins (Cincinnati): A 6-foot-1, 207-pound box safety, Minkins split his college career between Louisville and Cincinnati. He brings a naturally versatile skillset to New England, having played several roles in the secondary and on special teams.
WR Demeer Blankumsee (Memphis): Blankumsee started out at Toledo, but his career really took off after he transferred to Memphis in 2023. In two seasons with the Tigers, the 5-foot-10, 192-pound inside receiver caught 98 passes for 1,578 yards and 13 touchdowns.
FB Brock Lampe (NIU): The fullback is back in New England. Lampe appeared in 42 games at NIU and was a team captain in 2024. The 6-foot-1, 244 pounder only touched the ball 38 times for 382 yards and 3 touchdowns in four seasons, but he played a vital role as a leader blocker in the run game.
OT Cole Birdow (Merrimack): Birdow participated in the Patriots’ local pro day earlier this month. Primarily a right tackle at Merrimack, the 6-foot-5, 311-pounder also has some experience playing right guard.
WR Efton Chism (Eastern Washington): Coming off a 1,300-yard season for the Cougars, Chism turned heads at the East-West Shrine Bowl early in the draft cycle with his smooth route running ability. If you’re looking for your prototypical Josh McDaniels slot receiver, here’s your guy.
QB Ben Wooldridge (Louisiana): Wooldridge appeared in 29 games over his college career that started at Fresno State in 2019 and finished at Louisiana. He completed just under 61 percent of his passes while adding 461 yards on 134 rushes. He’ll join Drake Maye and Josh Dobbs as the third QB on New England’s depth chart.
TE Gee Scott Jr. (Ohio State): Another Buckeye added to the mix, Scott wasn’t overly productive during his Ohio State tenure but carries an athletic profile after switching from wide receiver to tight end in 2021. His best football could be ahead of him as a pass catcher.
TE C.J. Dippre (Alabama): Considered a draftable player, Dippre instead had to go to free agency to find a new home. He found one n New England, where he will compete against fellow depth tight ends Jaheim Bell and Jack Westover. He combines good size at 6-foot-5, 256 pounds and posted a 9.13 Relative Athletic Score in the pre-draft process.
DL Wilfried Pene (Virginia Tech): A former tight end, Pene is a smaller, more athletic defensive lineman. He set personal bests with 3.5 sacks and 5.5 TFLs in his final season for the Hookies.
S Jordan Polk (Texas State): After four seasons at Texas A&M Commerce, Polk transferred to Texas State in 2024 and promptly earned honorable All-Sun Belt recognition. The 5-foot-11, 189-pound defensive back projects as a box safety at the next level.
WR Jeremiah Webb (South Alabama): Webb had a relatively quiet career early on at South Dakota and South Alabama, but he did enjoy a breakout of sorts in 2024. The 5-foot-11, 198-pound perimeter receiver finished his final season in college with 36 catches for 649 yards and 5 touchdowns.
ED Eljiah Ponder (Cal Poly): A two-time first-team All-Big Sky selection, Ponder was a realistic candidate to get drafted. The 6-foot-3, 251-pound edge did not hear his name called despite registering 26.5 career sacks and getting a chance to showcase his talents at the East-West Shrine Bowl.
OL Jack Conley (Boston College): Over the course of six seasons at BC, Conley set the school’s all-time record with 60 in-game appearances. The big-bodied lineman, who stand at 6-foot-6, 330 pounds, has starter experience at both right guard and right tackle.
RB Lan Larison (UC Davis): UC Davis’ all-time leader in career all-purpose yards, Larison carried the ball 284 times for 1,465 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2024 and also added 62 catches for 847 yards and 6 more scores. The 5-foot-10, 209-pounder projects as a multi-purpose back.

Interesting group with a couple of guys who should have a real chance to make the "final" roster.
