PATS ADD SPECIAL TEAMS ACE BADEMOSI

The New England Patriots acquired defensive back Johnson Bademosi from the Detroit Lions for a sixth-round draft pick in 2019.

What does it give the New England Patriots
The Patriots added a strong piece for their special teams in Bademosi, who figures to see most of his snaps on special teams with New England. He can also provide a little corner and safety depth, as well.

What does it give the Detroit Lions
Obviously, the Lions felt they could no longer guarantee a spot on the 53-man roster for Bademosi, which led to his trade to New England. The Lions are not expected to get much of a return here.

Fantasy impact
There is nothing to see here, as Bademosi will probably settle for backup duty and ample special teams play this season.
