Patriots cut another WR after passing on picking one in the NFL draft
The Patriots announced that they released wide receiver John Jiles on Monday.
John Jiles’ time with the New England Patriots has come to an end. According to Sports Illustrated’s Mike Kadlick, the Patriots released Jiles on Monday. Jiles began his NFL career with the New York Giants in 2024.
He signed a three-year, $2. 86 million deal with the Giants as an undrafted free agent that year. The 25-year-old was signed to the Patriots’ practice squad before Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season.
He did not play in a regular season game for New England during his time with the team. Jiles most recently signed a futures contract with the Patriots on February 10. The Patriots part ways with Jiles after choosing not to select a wide receiver in the 2026 NFL Draft and signing four undrafted free agent wide receivers after the conclusion of the event.
Those players will have a chance to battle it out in training camp for a roster spot, while Jiles seeks his opportunity elsewhere. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook . This article originally appeared on Patriots Wire: Patriots cut another WR after passing on picking one in the NFL draft
