Broncos OT Calvin Anderson Confirms Departure to Patriots
Denver Broncos free-agent offensive tackle Calvin Anderson agreed to a two-year contract with the New England Patriots on Tuesday, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported.
Anderson has since confirmed the deal via his Twitter account.
"To #PatsNation I remember signing with you after the draft!" he tweeted. "Everything come full circle, and I can’t wait to give you everything I have and more. Not much for me to say, but a lot for me to do. Let’s work"

I remember signing with you after the draft! Everything come full circle, and I can’t wait to give you everything I have and more.
Not much for me to say, but a lot for me to do.
Let’s work 🤫
Undrafted in 2019, Anderson, 27, indeed had cups of coffee with the Patriots and New York Jets before surfacing in the Mile High City. The Texas product was mothballed as a rookie but made all 16 appearances during his sophomore campaign. He started seven games for the Broncos last year as injuries ravaged the offensive line.
With experience and versatility — the ability to play both tackle positions — Anderson is a valuable swing blocker who became expendable after Denver inked new RT Mike McGlinchey to an $87.5 million pact Monday. The team is also expected to return incumbent LT Garett Bolles in 2023.
"To #BroncosCountry Thank you so much for embracing me," Anderson tweeted. "I’ve always been counted out, but you gave me a chance to flourish and develop myself as a player. I’m forever grateful to George Paton, Mike Munchak, and so many others. I will always be proud of my time as a Bronco."
