Per Mark Daniels, the Patriots are signing UDFA RB Shane Watts to a contract.
In correspondence, New England is releasing RB Deneric Prince .
Prince, 25, signed on with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Tulsa following the 2023 NFL Draft. He was waived coming out of the preseason and re-signed to the practice squad.
Kansas City brought Prince back on a futures deal for the 2024 season, but again cut him coming out of the preseason. He joined the Dolphins practice squad for the year and caught on with New England a few days ago.
In 2023, Prince appeared in two games for the Chiefs but didn’t record any statistics.
