Jake Andrews among three players claimed off waivers from Patriots

Houston Texans awarded former Alabama prep, Troy standout Jake Andrews - al.com

Three players waived by the New England Patriots on Monday found new rosters on Tuesday.

Offensive lineman Jake Andrews has been claimed by the Houston Texans, while outside linebacker Titus Leo and safety Mark Perry have both been claimed by the Tennessee Titans, according to the NFL transaction wire.

Each was part of the post-draft turnover in Foxborough to make room for the 2025 rookie class.

Andrews, 25, now joins a 90-man group overseen by ex-Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio. The Troy product had arrived at Gillette Stadium in the fourth round of the 2023 draft at No. 107 overall. His collegiate run brought first-team All-Sun Belt honors and overlap with offensive line coach Cole Popovich — a past New England and present Houston assistant — as a redshirt senior. The 6-foot-3, 308-pounder appeared in 16 games as a rookie, making his first start at left guard and finishing with 70 snaps on offense and 50 snaps on special teams. A knee injury saw his 2024 end on injured reserve in August.

Leo, 25, signed to the 53-man roster in Foxborough off the practice squad of the Indianapolis Colts last November. The 6-foot-3, 250-pound edge defender went on to see action in four games, totaling four tackles, including one for loss. He played nine snaps on defense and 77 snaps on special teams along the way. Entering the NFL in the sixth round of the 2023 draft at No. 211 overall, the former FCS All-American out of Wagner spent his rookie season on injured reserve and now moves back to the AFC South.

Perry, 23, joins Leo in Nashville. The 6-foot, 213-pound defensive back had landed on New England’s practice squad last September and was retained on a futures contract after the 4-13 campaign drew to a close. A former All-Big 12 honorable mention, Perry went undrafted last spring after appearing in 53 games between stops at Colorado and Texas Christian. He spent his first NFL training camp with the Miami Dolphins and began his first NFL regular season on Houston’s practice squad.

Head coach Mike Vrabel’s Patriots made 11 selections and reportedly agreed to terms with 17 undrafted free agents last weekend. A series of subtractions followed.

The organization also moved on from wide receiver JaQuae Jackson, tight end Giovanni Ricci, defensive tackle Marcus Harris as well as long snapper and captain Joe Cardona.
