The New England Patriots on Monday announced the release of a veteran offensive lineman after selecting two in the 2024 NFL Draft.
New England cut ties with Conor McDermott, who spent time on the 53-man roster and practice squad during the 2023 campaign. McDermott played six games with five starts at left tackle.
The Patriots drafted Caedan Wallace in the third round and Layden Robinson in the fourth round. New England is hopeful both offensive lineman will be able to showcase their versatility with Eliot Wolf and company specifically pointing to Wallace as a potential fit at left tackle.
