The Patriots release FB Dan Vitale, sign TE Troy Fumagalli
The New England Patriots have signed tight end Troy Fumagalli and released fullback Dan Vitale, according to multiple reports.
The Denver Broncos drafted Fumagalli in the fifth round in 2018. During the 2020 season, Denver cut Fumagalli, who then bounced from the Houston Texans back to the Broncos on the practice squad. He has 14 career catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns.
Vitale, 27, was one of the Patriots’ eight COVID-19 opt-outs. He is also one of five of those opt-outs who are no longer with the team. He signed with New England during the 2020 offseason on a one-year, $1.3 million contract. He has played for the Green Bay Packers, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Cleveland Browns during his NFL career.
