Report: Patriots looking for depth on the offensive line with free agent workouts

On Monday, the Patriots Brought in three offensive lineman for tryouts.

As training camp continues on, the New England Patriots have been bringing in players to help address potential holes. Monday, the team brought three interior lineman in for visits.

Kevin Pamphile, Jovahnn Fair, and Elex Woodworth were all brought in for tryouts. Out of this group, Pamphile has the most experience. He was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the fifth round of the 2014 Draft. He has since bounced around to various teams, playing for the Titans and the Washington Football Team in addition to the Buccaneers.

Fair and Woodworth are undrafted rookies, looking to make a name for themselves. Fair played for Temple before playing with the Kansas City Chiefs. He was signed by the Browns on August 10, but then was released.

Woodworth played at the University of North Texas and was signed by the Houston Texans in May.

New England certainly has a bunch of project players on the line, and depth there certainly would not hurt. As they enter a new offensive system, depth may prove to be a major factor moving forward.

Washington signs G Kevin Pamphile, adding to O-line depth

Washington has added to their offensive line depth by signing former Buccaneer and Titan LG Kevin Pamphile.

The Washington Football Team has added to their offensive line depth, signing former Tennessee Titans guard Kevin Pamphile. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Pamphile is already in the building and has passed his physical in Washington.

Pamphile is a five-year veteran who played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the first four years of his career, before playing a single season in Tennessee. He was the starter at left guard during his time in Tampa Bay.

So what does this mean for Washington? We’ll have to wait and see, but it’s easy to believe that Pamphile will now be in a competition with Wes Martin and Wes Schweitzer for the starting LG spot, and he will battle for playing time during training camp.

Report: Washington signs former Titans OL Kevin Pamphile

Kevin Pamphile spent two seasons in Nashville.

Former Tennessee Titans offensive lineman Kevin Pamphile will reportedly sign with the Washington Football Team.

The news comes from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Pamphile spent two seasons with the Titans, but didn’t see a lot of action, mostly because of injuries.

After playing in just three games (two starts) for Tennessee in 2018, his season ended early after he was placed on IR.

Pamphile had a golden opportunity to be the team’s starting right guard in 2019, however he ended up suffering a knee injury prior to the season that knocked him out of the running.

After 2019 third-round pick Nate Davis assumed the starting role upon his return, Pamphile became a weekly scratch, even after he was presumably healthy.

While there are some obvious injury concerns with Pamphile, the veteran can provide solid depth thanks to his versatility, as he can play at both guard and tackle; although the former position is a better fit for him than the latter.

7 pending free agents Bears should keep eye on in Saturday’s divisional playoffs

With all eyes turned to the divisional playoffs, there are seven pending free agents the Bears should keep an eye on Saturday.

The Chicago Bears haven’t played in the NFL divisional playoffs since 2011, which hurts more than usual given the lofty expectations surrounding the team before the season.

Free agency is just about two months away, and the Bears have plenty of decisions to make both in-house and on the open market. With multiple areas of need, free agency and the NFL Draft will be important for general manager Ryan Pace.

With all eyes turned to the divisional playoffs, here are 7 pending free agents the Bears should keep an eye on Saturday:

QB Marcus Mariota

Technically, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Marcus Mariota won’t see the field on Saturday against the Ravens. And yet, he’s someone the Bears are surely keeping their eyes on this offseason.

Before Ryan Pace risked it all for Mitchell Trubisky, he was enamored with Mariota back in 2016 before Tennessee selected him second overall. Given the fact that both Chase Daniel and Tyler Bray are set to become free agents, Mariota is someone that Pace could target as competition for Trubisky this offseason — and perhaps as a backup plan should Trubisky struggle in 2020.
