The New England Patriots reportedly agreed to a deal with safety Peter Manuma on Monday to fill one of the final two spots on their 90-man roster.
It was reported on Monday afternoon that New England had filled the last spot on the roster as well.
"The Patriots have filled their 90-man roster after signing UDFA edge rusher Xavier Holmes," Patriots beat writer Mark Daniels posted on Bluesky.

Manuma and Xavier Holmes were among 17 undrafted rookies who tried out last week at Gillette Stadium during the team's three-day rookie minicamp.
Holmes transferred from Maine to James Madison for his 2025 senior season and finished the year with 30 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks and four passes defended across 14 games.
