A routine practice squad move that adds minimal roster depth for New England. Multiple headlines confirm this is a recycled signing, not a meaningful upgrade. The strongest signal is his futures contract status — clearly a developmental, non-roster priority. Fans are largely indifferent, viewing this as standard organizational filler work. Gutierrez remains a long-shot to crack a 53-man roster anytime soon.

This signing grades out as a bad deal for the New England Patriots — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Sebastian's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL OTs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the OT market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Sebastian is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
