Patriots announce signings of two players to futures deals

The New England Patriots announced that they have signed two more players to futures contracts. This news comes after the team signed 11 players to futures deals on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, the team made moves to sign offensive tackle Sebastian Gutierrez and running back Elijah Mitchell to futures contracts.

Gutierrez has been with the Patriots before, having spent time on their practice squad in 2022. He originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with the Denver Broncos. He has also played for the Las Vegas Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts. He went to training camp last summer with San Francisco and Cleveland prior to his time with the Patriots.

Mitchell was drafted by the 49ers in 2021 out of Louisiana. He ended up becoming a major part of the 49ers' backfield. He put together a strong resume that has seen him record 327 rushing attempts for 1,523 yards and nine touchdowns.

These might not be the flashiest moves for the Patriots, but they could add much-needed depth for the team in the offseason.
