The New England Patriots have signed free-agent defensive tackle Lawrence Guy to a four-year, $20 million contract, according to numerous reports.

Guy has played for the Colts, Chargers and Ravens during his five NFL seasons. His best statistical season was 2015, when he had 4.5 sacks and 46 tackles for Baltimore.

BILLS: Journeyman linebacker Lorenzo Alexander’s breakout season has paid off.

The 10-year-veteran was rewarded for leading Buffalo with 12 sacks, agreeing to a two-year, $9 million contract to re-sign with the Bills.

The Bills also reached an agreement to re-sign right tackle Jordan Mills, who started all 16 games last season.

Alexander, 33, earned a significant jump in pay after signing a one-year, $885,000 deal with the Bills last spring.

Alexander was expected to play on special teams and be a backup at linebacker, but he won a starting job in training camp and more than doubled the nine career sacks he had in his first nine seasons, while also leading the Bills with three forced fumbles.

SEAHAWKS: Seattle signed former No. 2 overall pick Luke Joeckel as it looks to bolster its offensive line.

Joeckel was supposed to anchor Jacksonville’s line after he was drafted in 2013. He started 39 games in his four seasons with the Jaguars, mostly at left tackle, but moved to left guard last season and played in just four games because of knee surgery.

BEARS: Chicago signed free-agent cornerbacks Prince Amukamara and Marcus Cooper and re-signed cornerback Johnthan Banks.

Amukamara, who has appeared in 69 games with 57 starts over six seasons, signed a one-year contract. He played for the New York Giants from 2011-15 and Jacksonville last season.

Cooper, who signed a three-year contract, has appeared in 54 games with 24 starts for Kansas City and Arizona. He had four interceptions and a team-high 11 pass breakups with the Cardinals last season.

Banks appeared in two games with Chicago last season, and also appeared in two games with Detroit and five with Tampa Bay. He signed a one-year contract.

CHIEFS: Safety Daniel Sorensen agreed to a $16 million, four-year contract that keeps the restricted free agent off the market, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.

The contract includes $8 million guaranteed and more than $2 million in incentives.

TITANS: Tennessee signed special teams player Eric Weems, a 10-year veteran and former Pro Bowler.

Last season with Atlanta, Weems led the NFC champions with 15 special teams tackles, and also averaged 11.4 yards on punt returns and 23 yards on kickoff returns.

LIONS: Detroit signed tight end Darren Fells, cornerback D.J. Hayden and wide receiver Keshawn Martin.

Fells spent the past three seasons with the Arizona Cardinals. He played in 14 games last season, starting seven, and had 14 receptions for 154 yards and a touchdown.

Hayden, a first-round draft pick by Oakland in 2013, started only two games last season, when he had a hamstring injury.

Martin is entering his sixth NFL season. He has 62 receptions for 685 yards and five TDs.
