Patriots Sign Lindstrom, Moten From UFL

The New England Patriots have signed two players with recent UFL experience, linebacker R.J. Moten and offensive lineman Alec Lindstrom, to add depth during training camp. Lindstrom, a Boston College graduate who played for the Memphis Showboats, joins the team following a leg injury to veteran center Garrett Bradbury. Moten, who played at Michigan and Florida and recently appeared with the Michigan Panthers, also participated in the Patriots’ rookie minicamp. Both signings are aimed at bolstering competition for reserve and practice squad positions as the Patriots look to rebound from a difficult 2024 season. Additionally, former Patriots lineman Liam Fornadel has joined the New York Jets after winning the UFL championship with the DC Defenders. These transactions underscore the NFL’s growing interest in talent from alternative leagues.
