    Just 12 Hours After Stefon Diggs Left, Patriots Bid Farewell to Veteran Star - A Key Contributor to Special Teams
    New England Patriots have continued a significant move in the free agency season by announcing that they will not tender cornerback Alex Austin, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. This means that Austin will become an unrestricted free agent. This decision has left fans feeling a sense of loss. Austin joined the Patriots at the end of the 2023 season, after being drafted in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. Despite being an under-the-radar player, Austin quickly became an important depth piece in the Patriots’ lineup. He appeared in a total of 29 games, started in 6, recording 31 tackles, 8 passes defended, and 1 interception. However, in the 2025 season, Austin faced unfortunate injuries that impacted his contributions on the field. After the arrival of Carlton Davis III, Austin’s defensive snaps decreased to just 20%, while his contributions on special teams increased to 39%. Although Austin couldn't maintain his defensive performance, he remained a valuable player on special teams. His contributions in the previous season helped the team maintain a solid position in critical situations. However, the competition from rookies and the return of Marcellas Dial Jr. created a tough future for Austin. "Playing for the Patriots has been a great honor in my career. Even though I have to leave, I will always be grateful for being a part of this team. I will always love New England, no matter what happens. If one day the team needs me, I will always be ready to come back and contribute." Alex Austin Shared ."Forever love the Patriots.God’s plan… looking forward to what’s next.” Austin shared on X, expressing gratitude and regret about the decision to leave. Forever love in New England! God’s Plan… looking forward to what he has next. 🙏🏽 https://t.co/YpGGZlGnWT — Alex Austin (@kinnggalex) March 5, 2026 The Patriots will face significant changes this season as Austin exits the team, and many other players may also leave or be added to strengthen the roster. This is also the time for the team to look for replacements for the missing positions, particularly in the defensive backfield. Although Austin did not have an outstanding defensive career, he made significant contributions to the Patriots' victories and will always be remembered as an essential part of the team’s special teams. Let’s wait and see what the future holds for him moving forward.
