The New England Patriots officially opened up a roster spot today, October 6, 2026, by releasing linebacker Jose Ramirez. This move confirms what many probably already suspected given his extremely limited play.
A Brief Stint in Foxborough
Ramirez, who is 27 years old, saw very limited action during his time with the Patriots. He appeared in just two games, recording a single tackle. His snap count was minimal, with only eight defensive snaps and 22 special teams snaps to his name, showing he barely cracked the rotation in any meaningful way.
The Journey Before New England
This isn’t Ramirez’s first stop in the professional football world. He was originally a sixth-round pick for the Buccaneers in 2023, where he went on to play four games in 2024. Before landing with New England, he also spent time in the CFL with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2025. It’s a winding road for many players trying to stick in the league.
While Ramirez moves on, the Patriots wasted no time adjusting their roster. They signed rookie corner Al’Zillion Hamilton to their practice squad and simultaneously released offensive lineman Da’Metrius Weatherspoon from the practice squad. These moves show the club is always looking to tweak their depth and find new talent for the grind of the regular season.
