## Resource

Patriots Sign Rookie DT Travis Shaw, Release Long Snapper Niko Lalos: The Patriots have added defensive tackle Travis Shaw, a rookie free agent from Texas, to their roster. Shaw, standing at six-foot-five and over three hundred thirty pounds, played college football at North Carolina and Texas, recording sixty-eight tackles and two fumble recoveries. The team also parted ways with long snapper Niko Lalos, who joined the Patriots in March. Lalos, a former defensive end with the Giants, had a brief stint with the Patriots after playing in six games for the Giants in his rookie year. These roster moves reflect the teams ongoing efforts to strengthen their lineup and prepare for the upcoming season. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
