Patriots Sign Veteran Lineman Van Roten | New England Patriots News

The Patriots just pulled off a savvy move by signing veteran Greg Van Roten to a one-year deal — a lifeline for their interior offensive line after two key backups went down in the preseason opener. At 36, Van Roten brings elite experience, having played over 140 games across nine teams and logged more than 3,000 snaps in the last three years. He’s versatile — starting over 50 games at guard and center — and knows the Patriots’ system inside out, having worked with both Josh McDaniels and Brian Daboll. With Ben Brown sidelined and Andrew Rupcich on IR, Van Roten is now the top backup option, adding depth and competition as the team gears up for joint practices with the Eagles.
