The New England Patriots have signed defensive tackle David Olajiga, increasing their interior defensive line depth. Olajiga, aged 27, is the ninth defensive tackle on the roster but does not count against the 90-man limit due to his exemption from the NFL's International Player Pathway Program. Having previously played for the Los Angeles Rams, he was undrafted in 2024 and spent his rookie season on the practice squad. The Patriots' first training camp practice is scheduled for July 23.
One day before their veteran players are scheduled to report to training camp, the New England Patriots have added some depth to their interior defensive line.
Olajiga, 27, becomes the ninth defensive tackle on the Patriots' pay roll but he actually will not count against their 90-man roster limit.
Olajiga spent his college career at Butler Community College and Central Missouri and did not hear his name called in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Patriots are entering their training camp with Christian Barmore and Milton Williams as their top interior D-linemen.
