The Patriots signed 11 players who finished the 2025 season on the practice squad to future contracts Tuesday.
The Patriots announced that G Mehki Butler, LB Amari Gainer, WR John Jiles, TE Marshall Lang, T Lorenz Metz, DT Jeremiah Pharms Jr., LB Otis Reese, G Andrew Rupcich, S John Saunders Jr., DL Leonard Taylor III and WR Jeremiah Webb have signed future contracts with the team.
Among players who finished the 2025 season on the practice squad, CB Miles Battle, S Richie Grant, LB Darius Harris, C Brenden Jaimes, RB D’Ernest Johnson, LB Patrick Johnson, TE Thomas Odukoya, LB Otis Reese, RB Craig Reynolds and WR Trent Sherfield have not yet re-signed with the team.
Pharms and Taylor got playing time with the Patriots this season. Saunders spent time on the 53-man roster, and Webb was elevated for one game but was not active.
Taylor was active for all four Patriots playoff games and made a game-saving field goal block with less than five minutes left in the AFC Championship Game.
