Britt, 27, was a two-year starter at Auburn and earned first-team All-SEC as a junior in 2019. He was drafted with the No. 176 pick in the fifth round by the Buccaneers in the 2021 NFL Draft.

He played out a four-year, $3.746 million rookie contract that included a signing bonus of $266,296. He was testing the market as an unrestricted free agent when he signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins.

The Patriots signed Britt to a one-year deal ahead of the 2026 season.

In 2026, Britt has appeared in one game for the Patriots and recorded one tackle for the Patriots.
