Deneric Prince's Patriots Future Murky as Exclusive Rights Free Agent

Running back Deneric Prince's future with the New England Patriots is uncertain as he enters exclusive rights free agency. After a 2025 season that lasted only about 48 hours due to an injury designation and a year-long stint on IR, Prince is considered a project. Despite the Patriots' suspect depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, the team is projected to neither tender nor re-sign him. Prince previously played 10 UFL games in 2025, accumulating 666 all-purpose yards, and could draw interest from other RB-needy teams.
