Releasing a long snapper is typically a depth move with minimal football impact. Multiple headlines confirm Lalos was signed specifically for special teams snapping duties. Converting a former defensive end to long snapper signals depth concerns at the position. Fans barely noticed this transaction, indicating low roster significance overall. Patriots likely promote from practice squad or sign replacement long snapper cheaply.
