The Patriots’ free agent signings have their new jersey numbers

Brian Hoyer gets his number.

The New England Patriots have assigned jersey numbers to their free agent signings. The team added eight veterans in free agency, including a quarterback, two receivers, a fullback, two defensive backs, one linebacker and a defensive lineman.

To this point, no one has taken Tom Brady’s No. 12. It’s easy to imagine that number will take a break for a year or two. The only leftover players without jersey numbers will be the rookies, who generally get assigned a number for training camp. They only get to pick their number if they make the team.

Here’s a look at what the newcomers will wear, if they make the roster for the 2020 season.

  • Brian Hoyer, 2
  • Damiere Byrd, 10
  • Marqise Lee, 13
  • Adrian Phillips, 21
  • Cody Davis, 22
  • Dan Vitale, 45
  • Brandon Copeland, 52
  • Beau Allen, 94
