Former Patriots CB Myles Bryant signing with new AFC team

Former Patriots CB Myles Bryant has a new home

Myles Bryant has found a new home.

Per KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson, the former New England Patriots cornerback is signing with the Houston Texans.

Bryant played with the Patriots’ organization from 2020-2023 and recorded 200 total tackles and four interceptions during that time. He went undrafted out of Washington in 2020 and found himself a role quickly in New England. He appeared in nine games in his rookie season and 12 games the following year.

Bryant recorded 65 tackles, two forced fumbles, an interception and a pass deflection last season. He played in all 17 games for the Patriots.

Bryant was certainly a serviceable depth piece for New England. Depth at the cornerback position could be an issue for the organization with the draft a little more than a month away.

Where do things stand with free agent CB Myles Bryant?

What’s the latest on free agent CB Myles Bryant?

It has been well over a week since the start of free agency, and pending free agent cornerback Myles Bryant is still without a home.

The former New England Patriots veteran defensive back joined the team as an undrafted rookie and worked his way up as a veteran depth option on defense and special teams. He has played in 55 total games with at least 17 starts under his belt.

Former Patriots coach Bill Belichick loved his versatility, which is one of the biggest reasons why he was able to keep a job in New England. But with Jerod Mayo as the new head coach and Eliot Wolf making the personnel decisions, the future might not be so certain for Bryant with the Patriots.

When reading into a possible reunion with Bryant, who played in 75 percent of the defensive snaps last season, ESPN’s Mike Reiss shared his thoughts on the matter in his Sunday notes column.

Reiss wrote:

My read: He lost a top advocate in Belichick. The Patriots would be open to bringing him back on a salary that reflects him more as a depth player than key cog, but there’s been no alignment to date.

This could simply be a situation where Bryant is testing the market for more money elsewhere, and if he’s unable to find it, perhaps he’d be willing to explore a return to New England.

It’s never a bad thing having an experienced player capable of stepping up and filling multiple positions in a pinch. But at this point, especially for a Patriots team with too many holes to fill, Bryant is more luxury than need.

Who are the best available NFL free agent fits left for Eagles?

We’re looking at the best available free agent fits for the Philadelphia Eagles ahead of the second wave of free agency

The Eagles have undergone significant changes on both sides of the football field, involving player personnel and a retooled coaching staff.

The free agent period and NFL draft are Howie Roseman’s seasons, and the Eagles GM got off to a roaring start after inking running back Saquon Barkley to a three-year deal, signing improving pass rusher Bryce Huff and then bringing versatile defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson back into the fold.

Roseman then added talent to the backup quarterback position, acquiring Kenny Pickett from the Steelers for a 2024 third-round pick and two 2025 seventh-round picks.

The Eagles have since added wide receiver Parris Campbell, slot cornerback Tyler Hall, defensive tackle PJ Mustipher, and linebacker Oren Burks.

With the second wave of free agency set to begin, we’re looking at the best available free agent fits for Philadelphia.

1 pending free agent the Colts could target from each AFC team

Taking a look at one pending free agent for the Colts from each AFC team.

With free agency right around the corner, the Indianapolis Colts have the chance to make some key additions to a roster that already has some promise.

Working with some of the most salary-cap space in the NFL this offseason, general manager Chris Ballard and the front office can continue to add pieces to the defensive side of the ball while improving the supporting cast for quarterback Anthony Richardson.

Re-signing some of their own players like Michael Pittman Jr., Grover Stewart and Kenny Moore II will be key. But they also could look around the conference to bring in some outside talent.

We know Ballard isn’t one to make huge splashes in free agency, but they are still going to be an active team even if it means simply adding depth.

After taking a look at potential NFC targets, here’s a look at one pending free agent from each AFC team that should interest the Colts:

Projected market value for Patriots’ top pending free agents

The Patriots have multiple in-house free agents they might want to re-sign. Here’s what it could cost them.

Big decisions loom on the horizon for the New England Patriots heading into free agency.

They’re sitting pretty right now with roughly over $100 million in available salary cap space, but they are also a team bogged down with various holes and upgrade needs on their roster.

Free agency isn’t just about paying big money to load up on outside talent. It’s also about keeping the talent you already have to ensure some continuity. Not everything was bad with the 4-13 Patriots, and this isn’t a situation where the organization is looking to throw the entire team away.

There were pieces that stood out as potential parts of an eventual solution in New England. and it now falls on Patriots executive Eliot Wolf and the front office to figure out ways to keep those pieces intact.

Today, we’re taking a closer look at the Patriots’ top free agents and their projected market values, according to PFF.com and Spotrac.com.

Ranking 2024’s top 12 free-agent cornerbacks

Top cornerbacks entering free agency in the 2024 offseason

The Carolina Panthers have lacked cornerback depth for a few seasons now. Will this be the offseason where they finally address it?

Here are the top 12 free-agent cornerbacks of 2024:

10 CBs the Colts should target in free agency

Taking a look at free-agent CB options for the Colts.

There is some potential in the cornerback group for the Indianapolis Colts but it’s the same old offseason story of a position group with promise that should add a veteran in case they don’t live up to the billing.

General manager Chris Ballard has taken his chances in this scenario in the past and it hasn’t always worked out for him. If he wants to stabilize the group, then a top-tier corner should be pursued heavily.

If he can’t land one, then a veteran to push the younger corners has to be considered. Ballard also has to keep an eye on nickel corners if he doesn’t re-sign Kenny Moore II and could use one for depth even if he is back for the 2024 season.

We should note that we understand a handful of these players won’t even hit the market, but we’re working under the hypothetical scenario that they become available, regardless of how slim the chances are.

If Chris Ballard decides to add to the position group via free agency, here are 10 players that the front office should target:

The Patriots’ Myles Bryant loved Taylor Swift’s NSFW reaction to his play against Travis Kelce

Swift is becoming more of an angered sports fan each week, and it’s incredibly relatable.

Taylor Swift is a full-on football fan.

Her father, Scott, is a huge Eagles fan — unless he’s supporting her new boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City squad — and she’s been attending Chiefs games over the last few months. With each game that passes, her intensity and obsession with the action seems to increase, and Sunday afternoon cameras caught the 12-time Grammy winner using some, uh, choice words when potential pass interference against Kelce went uncalled in the end zone.

Myles Bryant was the defender on the play, and he completely understood Swift’s reaction.

“It’s a high-stakes game. People get real into it, so it’s cool,” Bryant told PEOPLE Magazine in an interview after the game. “It’s cool she’s into it.”

Studs and duds in Patriots’ ugly 10-6 loss to Colts in Germany

Studs and duds from the Patriots’ Week 10 loss in Germany.

The New England Patriots packed up their offensive problems and brought them along for the ride in Sunday’s head-to-head clash with the Indianapolis Colts in Germany.

A hopeful field goal drive to start the game devolved into one of the worst offensive performances of the season for the Patriots. They only mustered two field goals against a Colts defense that ranked as the third-worst in the NFL in points allowed heading into the game.

Meanwhile, on the defensive side of the ball, the unit somehow managed to overcome missing team captain and linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley, along with other star playmakers, to hold the Colts’ top-10 scoring offense to only 10 points.

Here are the studs and duds from the game on Sunday:

WATCH: Patriots CB Myles Bryant snags pop-up interception on Gardner Minshew

Myles Bryant came away with a pop-up interception on Sunday.

The New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts were locked in a defensive battle on Sunday afternoon.

There weren’t too many highlights on either side of the football. However, Myles Bryant made sure to change that, as he recorded an interception that halted an Indianapolis drive.

It was their 15th turnover of the year for the Colts and Bryant’s first interception of the season at a time when New England needed it the most.

Unfortunately, New England was not able to do anything with the ensuing drive, as they missed a field goal. However, the defensive effort cannot be ignored.

The defense may have to step up for the rest of the game, as the New England offense has struggled all afternoon.
