Patriots Release Linebacker Anfernee Jennings
The New England Patriots are releasing linebacker Anfernee Jennings on Wednesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move frees up $3.9 million in salary cap space for the 2026 season while leaving behind a $1 million dead-cap charge. Jennings played the fewest snaps of his career in 2025 in his fifth year with the Patriots, finishing with just 26 tackles (15 solo), two sacks, five tackles for loss, seven QB hits, and one fumble recovery in 14 regular-season games (three starts). The 28-year-old is known for being better at stopping the run than getting after the opposing quarterback, as he has only 7.5 sacks in his five NFL seasons. Jennings was originally the 87th overall pick in the third round by the Patritos in the 2020 NFL draft out of Alabama. He should latch on elsewhere, but he won't be in play in IDP fantasy leagues at the linebacker position.
