According to Ian Rapoport, the Patriots are releasing OT Jared Veldheer from the reserve/retired list.
Rapoport adds Veldheer is in shape and looking to join another team as a late-season offensive line addition.
Veldheer signed with the Patriots in free agency this offseason on a one-year, $6.5 million deal. However, he retired in May before playing a snap for New England.
Veldheer, 31, is a former third-round pick of the Raiders back in 2010. After four years in Oakland, Veldheer signed a five-year, $35 million contract that included $10.5 million guaranteed with the Cardinals in March of 2014.
In 2018, the Cardinals traded Veldheer to the Broncos in exchange for a sixth-round pick. Veldheer made a base salary of $6.5 million for the 2018 season.
In 2018, Veldheer started 12 games for the Broncos and was rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 58 offensive tackle out of 80 qualifying players.
