The 26-year-old became available after his former team, the Denver Broncos, decided against placing a tender sheet on the restricted free agent.Shortly after arriving in New England, LaCosse spoke with patriots.com about his thoughts on joining the reigning world champions. “It’s an honor to be here,” the former undrafted rookie free agent said. “Great franchise, great players White Stephon Gilmore Jerseys , great coaches. Just the history behind this franchise is unbelievable. Just to be here and to see all that happens here and to be a part of it is huge, it’s awesome.”LaCosse signed a two-year, $4.8 million contract in New England, which will allow him to compete for the top tight end spot behind future Hall of Famer Rob Gronkowski — if, of course, Gronkowski returns for a tenth season with the club. The newest Patriot will go up against a returning group consisting of Jacob Hollister and Ryan Izzo, who both ended 2018 on injured reserve, as well as mid-season acquisition Stephen Anderson.The most experienced player of the group Stephon Gilmore Jerseys 2019 , LaCosse is more well-rounded that primary receiving tight ends Hollister and Anderson. But however the team decides to use him, the four-year veteran is looking forward to the challenge. “One of the main selling points for this place is just how often they use their tight ends and how they use them in different ways,” said LaCosse during his quick availability last week.“Blocking, pass catching off play-action: there’s so many ways the tight end can get involved, it’s exciting,” he continued. So far in his career, LaCosse has experienced both with moderate success. After entering the league with the New York Giants but appearing in just five games over two separate stints — he spent a week with the New York Jets in between — the 6’6, 255 lbs tight end was signed off the team’s practice squad during the 2017 season.The Illinois product initially saw minimal action in Denver White Lawrence Guy Jerseys , but had a breakout year of sorts in 2018: appearing in 15 of the Broncos’ 16 games, LaCosse served as the number two tight end and played 38.9% of the team’s offensive snaps, while catching 24 passes for 250 yards and one touchdown — not exactly All-Pro-worthy numbers, but solid considering that he caught a mere three footballs over the first three years of his pro career.But just as he found his footing in Denver, LaCosse was forced to leave again. However, it certainly sounds as if he is embracing the challenge. “I’m just getting to know my teammates and the coaches, diving into the playbook and getting to work,” he said before adding his main goal: “Trying to excel the best I can and help this team win.” The 2019 Pro Football Hall of Fame class has been announced and a former member of the New England Patriots has made it: in his third year as a finalist Lawrence Guy Jerseys 2019 , Ty Law finally got over the hump and will officially be enshrined in August.Law joined the Patriots as the 23rd overall draft pick in 1995 and quickly grew into one of the NFL’s best and most physical cover corners. As such, he became a cornerstone of New England’s early dynasty teams and helped the Patriots win their first three Super Bowls (although he only played in the first two). Overall, the Michigan product spent 10 seasons with the organization and appeared in 153 games for the club.The 44-year old, who was voted into the Patriots’ franchise Hall of Fame back in 2014, was immensely productive during his tenure in New England — and beyond: after leaving the club, he went on to play five more seasons for New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos. All in all, his career numbers looked as follows by the time Law stepped away from the game after the 2009 season.Ty Law Games playedTacklesInterceptionsSacksFumbles forcedFumbles recoveredDefensive TDsAccolades Games playedTacklesInterceptionsSacksFumbles forcedFumbles recoveredDefensive TDsAccolades*Law was inactive in Super Bowl 39Law has surely posted some impressive numbers over his 15 years in the NFL White Rex Burkhead Jerseys , both when it comes to individual performance and accolades and when it comes to team success. He also made one of the biggest plays in Super Bowl history when he returned a Kurt Warner interception for the first points in Super Bowl 36.Ty Law becomes the ninth player associated with the Patriots organization in one way or another to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame:While Law finally made it to the Hall of Fame, defensive lineman Richard Seymour missed the cut in his first year of eligibility. The Patriots’ first-round selection in 2001, Seymour spent the first eight seasons of his 12-year career in New England and appeared in 126 games for the franchise. He played a key role in the New England’s first three Super Bowl-winning runs, was voted to seven Pro Bowls and named to the NFL’s team of the 2000s. He also is a member of the Patriots’ team of the 2000s and 50th anniversary team.Seymour will eventually get in at one point as him advancing this far in the process should be seen as a good sign for future year.The full 2019 Hall of Fame class looks as follows:
