Patriots host former Bills players DaQuan Jones and Shaq Thompson for visits

The New England Patriots have brought in veteran free agent defensive tackle DaQuan Jones and linebacker Shaq Thompson, both former players for the Buffalo Bills, for visits at their facility. With the NFL season approaching, teams are assessing potential additions to bolster their rosters. Jones, who played four seasons with the Bills, had a productive last year, while Thompson, who signed with Buffalo in June, emerged as a key defensive presence. However, despite expressing a desire to return to Buffalo, Thompson's future with the Bills looks uncertain after the team drafted Kaleb Elarms-Orr and signed another defensive tackle, Greg Gaines. No contracts have been finalized following the visits to New England.
