The New England Patriots have officially tendered Jack Westover, a fullback and tight end, as an exclusive rights free agent, according to reports from MassLive's Mark Daniels. This designation means Westover cannot negotiate with other teams and must either sign the tender or forgo the upcoming season. After transitioning from tight end to fullback in the 2025 offseason, Westover participated in all 17 regular-season games, accumulating 246 snaps. He recorded one reception during the season but did not gain any yards. Westover also played a role in the playoffs, appearing in all four games and starting in two, with a notable eight-yard reception against the Los Angeles Chargers in the wild-card round. With the Patriots recently signing fullback Reggie Gilliam from the Buffalo Bills, Westover is expected to face competition for his position, alongside the anticipated return of Brock Lampe. His status with the team will depend on his decision regarding the tender.
