The New England Patriots have actively been shuffling their roster leading up to the start of the season, and more of those changes showed recently, according to the team’s website. After much speculation, the Patriots made it official and signed defensive end Shaun Ellis, who has previously been with the Patriots’ rival New York Jets. Ellis practiced with the Patriots earlier last week before signing an undisclosed deal with the Patriots. Ellis has been with the Jets since he joined the league in 2000. In his long career, he has tallied 499 tackles, 72.5 sacks, 14 passes defended, one interception and 12 forced fumbles.

The Patriots also added another defensive end and signed Andre Carter. Carter was previously with the Washington Redskins from 2006 to 2010 and with the San Francisco 49ers from when he entered the league in 2001 to 2005. Like Ellis, he has had quite the storied career. Carter has tallied 442 tackles, 66 sacks, one safety, 22 passes defended and 15 forced fumbles. The two new additions add even more talent to an already-potent defense for the Patriots.
