Patriots signed second-year S Dax Swanson and Utah DL L.T. Tuipulotu, and released WR Greg Orton and S Jeremy Deering.
Signed by Indianapolis as an undrafted free agent after the 2013 draft, Swanson spent time on both the Colts’ and 49ers’ practice squads in 2013. Swanson does not have elite measurables, but he showed some ball-hawking skills while at Sam Houston State. He will try to establish himself as a special teams player in New England.
