FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) – The New England Patriots have signed veteran center Garrett Bradbury to a two-year deal, ESPN reported Tuesday, the latest move in an ongoing effort help bolster their offensive line.
The 29-year-old Bradbury was released on Monday by Minnesota after six seasons. His signing gives the Patriots another option to fill the hole created after they released veteran center David Andrews last week. The team has made the O-line a priority this offseason in advance of quarterback Drake Maye´s upcoming second season.
A top NFL insider floated a wild idea this week: Kirk Cousins being traded back to the Minnesota Vikings this offseason.
The Vikings had a huge bounce-back season in year three under head coach Kevin O’Connell. After a 7-10 finish two years ago, they won twice as many games in 2024. What made their success so surprising is that in the previous offseason, they lost star QB Kirk Cousins in NFL free agency, and first-round draft pick JJ McCarthy suffered a season-ending injury in the preseason.

league, 2018 draft bust Sam Darnold was able to fill that void. In his seventh season in the league and on his fourth team, the former first-round pick was able to reach his potential under O’Connell and had a career year in Minnesota. But just like last offseason, the Vikings lost a Pro Bowl-level QB in free agency.
