The New England Patriots add some more depth to their roster by signing cornerback EJ Biggers and tight end Clay Harbor to 1-year deals. Biggers was signed to an $840,000 deal and will serve as depth for the Patriots. On the other hand, Harbor will look to lock down the third tight end spot in a battle with Michael Williams and AJ Derby.
