Mon Mar 10 19:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Patriots Eye Versatile Offensive Lineman Mekari to Bolster O-Line
**Foxborough, MA** – The New England Patriots are actively pursuing versatile offensive lineman Patrick Mekari, according to sources. Mekari, 27, spent last season with the Baltimore Ravens, starting 14 games at left guard and three at right tackle. However, his appeal lies in his exceptional positional flexibility, having started games at every position on the offensive line during his career.
The Patriots are seeking upgrades to their offensive line, particularly at left guard and left tackle. While they recently signed veteran right tackle Morgan Moses to a three-year deal, Mekari’s ability to play multiple positions makes him an attractive option. His extensive experience includes significant snaps at right tackle (1,206), left guard (832), center (683), left tackle (672), and right guard (272).
Mekari’s availability follows news that he has agreed to a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, the Patriots’ interest suggests a potential bidding war for the highly sought-after lineman. The team’s pursuit of Mekari highlights their ongoing efforts to strengthen their offensive line before the upcoming season.
