The New England Patriots are among the teams who have “been in touch” with free agent left tackle D.J. Humphries, according to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Humphries is coming off a torn ACL and was released by the Arizona Cardinals in March. He was a mainstay for the Cardinals for nine seasons, playing for them from 2015-2023 and making the Pro Bowl in 2021. He played in 98 games in his Cardinals career and started in all of them.
Regardless of whether it’s through free agency or on the trade market, the Patriots could use additional tackle depth on their roster. Fowler mentioned the team was interested in Cam Robinson as well, before the Jacksonville Jaguars traded him to the Minnesota Vikings.

The Patriots have been looking for offensive line help. They looked into Cam Robinson before the Jaguars traded him to the Vikings, and they’ve also been in touch with free agent offensive tackle D.J. Humphries.
The Patriots obviously have some work to do to fix their offensive line in the offseason, but it seems as if they’re being proactive and looking for ways to fix things in the present.
