Adam Schefter writes that the New England Patriots will sign former Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Brian Waters.
Brian Waters Will Sign With New England Patriots, According To Report
The Patriots continue to make moves, reportedly acquiring veteran Brian Waters to fill their hole at right guard.
Waters has been named to the Pro Bowl five times, including in 2010. The Chiefs released him in late July. The timing of the Patriots’ move is particularly significant given that if Waters is on the Pats’ opening-day roster, they’ll have to pay him for the entire year.
Any veteran on an opening-day roster has his salary guaranteed for the season.
The fact that New England did a deal now with Waters rather than waiting until after the regular season begins indicates they have big plans for him this season.
The top three players on the Patriots' depth chart at right guard - Dan Connolly, Ryan Wendell and Rich Ohrnberger - are all currently injured.
The Patriots continue to make headlines, as this move follows on the heels of the releases of Brandon Meriweather and Sammy Morris.
