The New England Patriots are releasing veteran safety Jabrill Peppers. Peppers, 29, didn't fit the new defensive scheme under coach Mike Vrabel and coordinator Terrell Williams. He had three years left on his contract, with $4.32 million guaranteed in 2025. While the Patriots might try to trade him, it's considered unlikely due to his contract. Peppers has played 99 career games, recording 35 passes defensed, seven interceptions, and 5.5 sacks.
