Anderson spent the last three years with the Jets after spending his first three with the Colts. He played at least 13 games each year in New York, including all 16 in 2018 and 2020.
Henry Anderson lands with Patriots
Fantasy slant: Despite having a seven-sack season on his resume, Anderson's signing aims to improve an ailing New England run defense. During previous stops with the Jets and Colts, clamping down on opposing rushers has been his main expertise. Anderson is a welcome addition to a team that ranked 32nd in rush defense DVOA in 2020. — Derek Brown
