Patriots Tipping Hand Before Making Obvious Offseason Move

The New England Patriots will be adding a kicker, if not multiple, to their roster before the end of April.

Don’t believe us?

Kentucky kicker Alex Raynor and Florida State kicker Ryan Fitzgerald both worked out for the club during pre-draft visits, according to Justin Melo of The Draft Network.

How about now?

The Patriots are in an interesting spot when it comes to the kicking game, as John Parker Romo is the only one left on the roster and has never appeared in a game for the club. New England doesn’t have much familiarity with him outside of a few weeks on the practice squad last season, so it’s very likely the organization brings in some form of competition for him this offseason — especially after getting to know a pair of options.

Raynor and Fitzgerald are perfect fits as they’ll likely both be available as undrafted free agents.

Mike Vrabel will just have to get over his hatred for kickers to make a signing official.
