The Patriots are signing cornerback Kindle Vildor to a one-year contract, a league source confirmed Thursday.
Vildor, 28, spent last season with the Buccaneers, playing 15.7 percent of the defense’s snaps. He appeared in 12 games and intercepted one pass (Mac Jones, 49ers, in Week 6).
After the Bears drafted Vildor out of Georgia Southern in the fifth round in 2020, he played three seasons in Chicago before getting waived as part of the team’s final roster cuts at the end of training camp in 2023.
Vildor has since bounced around multiple teams, including a brief stint in Tennessee when Mike Vrabel was Titans coach.
