Before the NFL Draft, the Patriots are said to be working out former Buccaneers linebacker Cam Gill.

Cam Gill joined the league in 2020 and has played in 40 games so far in his career.

As the NFL draft of 2024 draws near, the New England Patriots are still evaluating veterans.

According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, the group welcomed former linebacker Cam Gill of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a workout on Tuesday.

In 2020, Gill, now 26 years old, signed on as an undrafted free agent. After training camp as a rookie, the Wagner product was added to Tampa Bay’s 53-man roster, and he has since appeared in 40 career games.

During the regular season, Gill played 768 special team snaps, 184 defensive snaps, 2.5 sacks, and one forced fumble for the Buccaneers. On his way to winning Super Bowl LV, he added a half-sack against quarterback Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs during the postseason.

Prior to the 2024 NFL Draft, Eliot Wolf and the New England Patriots have openly stated that they are considering all of their options.

The Patriots should draft a quarterback with their third overall pick, as they have indicated they could. Still, New England has declared itself “open for business” in the event that they receive an alluring trade offer from another team in need of a quarterback.

“We’re open to anything,” Wolf declared last Thursday at Gillette Stadium, “moving up, moving down.” “We’re available for business in both the initial and subsequent rounds.”

The Patriots are still considering the possibility of trading down, according to reports that surfaced on Tuesday from Dianna Russini of The Athletic, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Mark Daniels of MassLive, and Karen Guregian of MassLive.

Selecting a non-quarterback at No. 3 is one option that Wolf and company shouldn’t consider.

Regardless of how some Patriots supporters feel about wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., neither franchise left tackle Joe Alt nor game-changing wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. should be selected by New England with the third overall pick. It would be roster malpractice and a fireable offense to choose any of those players or others at their respective positions instead of gaining draft capital in a trade with a team in need of a quarterback.
