Patriots Not Tendering RFA OT Yasir Durant

Durant will become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year starts next week.

Durant, 27, wound up going undrafted out of Missouri back in April of 2020. He later signed a rookie contract with the Chiefs and made the team as a rookie. 

The Chiefs traded Durant to the Patriots coming out of the preseason in 2021 for a seventh-round pick. The Patriots waived him almost exactly a year later in 2022 and he eventually caught on with the Saints to finish out the season. From there, he had a brief stint with the Broncos in 2023 but lasted only a week with the team. 

Durant spent the 2024 season in the UFL before signing with the Patriots in June 2025. He was waived with an injury designation in July and spent the season on injured reserve.

For his career, Durant has appeared in 19 games for the Chiefs and Patriots and made two starts.
