Overview
- Jack Westover signed his exclusive-rights tender Tuesday to secure a $1.075 million deal for 2026.
- New England now carries two fullbacks after adding former Bills veteran Reggie Gilliam on a three-year, $10.8 million contract.
- Analysts expect offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to deploy both as “B” backs, aligning like tight ends to fill snaps at that spot.
- Westover appeared in all 17 regular-season games and four postseason games last season for the AFC champions.
- Few NFL teams keep even one fullback today, so pairing two indicates a specific role fit rather than a standard depth move.
