Ramon Humber

Position: Special Teams/LB

Overview: Like Albert McClellan, Humber was released by his former team (the Buffalo Bills) during the 2018 season. The Patriots – who had previously signed him in 2016 – brought the veteran special teams ace back to Foxborough to help fix a unit that had struggled through the first half of the 2018 season.

Humber and McClellan did indeed provide a spark on special teams, just as they were intended to do. Both players performed well during starring roles in Super Bowl 53. Like McClellan, Humber should be back at a reasonable rate if he’ll agree to it.

Expected Cost: One year at Veteran’s minimum of around $1 million.
