The Patriots are signing free-agent guard Nick Leverett, a source told the Herald.

Leverett, 27, has spent his entire career with the Buccaneers since going undrafted out of Rice in 2020.

Leverett only played four special teams snaps in 2023 but started 10 games, seeing time at left guard, center and right guard, in 2022. He didn’t allow a sack and let up just 12 pressures in 761 offensive snaps two seasons ago.

The Patriots currently are expected to start Cole Strange at left guard, David Andrews at center and Sidy Sow at right guard next season. Leverett adds depth and flexibility on the interior offensive line where Jake Andrews, Michael Jordan and Atonio Mafi are also under contract.

The Patriots already re-signed offensive lineman Mike Onwenu and added offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor this offseason.
