The Patriots are reportedly set to make a veteran addition to their

offensive line.NFL Media reports that the team plans to sign tackle Jared Veldheer later this week. Veldheer visited with the team last week.Veldheer spent the 2018 season with the Broncos and made 12 starts at right tackle. He was a starter with the Raiders and Cardinals before heading to Denver and has made 113 total starts while playing on both sides of the line over the course of his NFL career.The Patriots have Marcus Cannon back at right tackle and have designs on playing 2018 first-round pick Isaiah Wynn at left tackle. Wynn is returning from a torn Achilles White Ryan Allen Jerseys , though, and 2019 third-round pick Yodny Cajuste is recovering from quad surgery so it’s not hard to see the interest in an experienced option at the position.Waiting to sign Veldheer until after Tuesday would mean he does not factor into the compensatory draft pick process. A quick dive into the ins and outs of the deal signed by the Patriots’ newest WR acquisition."On Wednesday morning, insight was provided by ESPN’s Mike Reiss regarding the structure of Dontrelle Inman’s one-year deal with the Patriots. Here’s hows the contract breaks down:Salary: $900,000 — $100,000 guaranteedSigning Bonus: $200,000Reporting Bonus: $100,000Per-game Roster Bonus Total: $168,750 — $18,750 per game, LTBE for 9 gamesReceptions Incentives (unspecified): $1 millionAssuming that the entirety of Inman’s $1 million incentive total is classified as not likely to be earned, his 2019 cap hit will be $1,368,750 Ryan Allen Jerseys 2019 ,— ranking 37th on the team and sixth in the wide receiver room behind Julian Edelman, Demaryius Thomas, Matthew Slater, Phillip Dorsett, and N’Keal Harry. 2019 guaranteed cash: current Patriots WRs:Julian Edelman: $9,000,000N’Keal Harry: $5,859,252Phillip Dorsett: $500,000Dontrelle Inman: $400,000Demaryius Thomas: $300,000Maurice Harris: $90,000Jakobi Meyers: $75 White James Develin Jerseys ,000Ryan Davis: $75,000If Inman makes the club out of camp and is active for all 16 games in 2019, the Patriots will begin losing $18,750 per week starting in week 11. If the 30-year-old wideout is cut before week one, the team would gain $968,750 in gross cap space this season, with $400,000 in dead money. If Inman were to sign with another club in 2019, New England would earn a credit on their 2020 adjusted team cap for every dollar he earned with the new team, up to $100,000.The possibility of earning up to $2.5 million in 2019 is a nice opportunity for a player who scratched out a five-year NFL career after going undrafted out of Virginia in 2011, spending two seasons in the Canadian Football League, and earning just over $5 million with three NFL clubs since 2014.After being signed by the Indianapolis Colts halfway through October of last season James Develin Jerseys 2019 , Inman emerged as the number-two option down the stretch for Andrew Luck, tallying at least four receptions in five of the final eight regular season games in which he was active, and catching all eight of his targets for 108 yards and a score in the team’s two playoff contests.He isn’t a burner, but his solid routes, body control, and sticky hands popped on tape in 2018, which created some competition for his services on the post-compensatory pick free agent market this month — as demonstrated by the $400,000 in guarantees he received in Foxborough. With Demaryius Thomas’s health status in question for the start of the regular season and rookie N’Keal Harry getting accustomed to life in the NFL, Inman has a serious opportunity to make some headway on New England’s wide receiver depth chart this summer.Follow Brian Phillips on Twitter — @BPhillips_SB
