The New England Patriots opened their 2026 rookie minicamp on Friday, and part of the procedure was making this year’s undrafted free agent signings official. A total of 12 such players were added to the roster, and they promptly received their initial jersey numbers as well.
In numerical order, here is the full list of digits for the Patriots’ undrafted free agent signings at the start of rookie minicamp:

With only 92 numbers available — led by Tom Brady’s No. 12, the franchise has retired eight numbers — there are a few double-issues now that the UDFAs have been added to the mix. Those are denoted by either a “w” or a “b” next to the number, signaling white (offense/special teams) or blue (defense).
There are five of those: No. 19 is now worn by both wide receiver Jimmy Kibble and last year’s Mr. Irrelevant, cornerback Kobee Minor; No. 23 is shared by wideout Nick DeGennaro and safety John Saunders Jr; No. 29 by cornerback Channing Canada and wideout Jeremiah Webb Jr; No. 36 by defensive back Kenneth Harris and kicker Andy Borregales; No. 39 by running back Myles Montgomery and cornerback Brandon Crossley.
