The New England Patriots worked out veteran tight end Mitchell Wilcox on Monday, liked what they saw and ultimately agreed on a deal, per Patriots.com.

Wilcox recently played for the Cincinnati Bengals from 2021-2023. He played in 48 games, making nine starts and recording 29 catches for 211 yards and a touchdown.

New England could use tight end depth, with the headliner at the position being Hunter Henry. They signed Austin Hooper to a one-year deal back in March as a replacement for former Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki, who signed with the Bengals in free agency.
