The 31-year-old has played eight NFL seasons since being drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the sixth round of the 2016 draft.
Schweitzer made 36 starts across three seasons with the Falcons before heading to Washington, where he made 24 starts from 2020 to 2022. He spent the last two years with the New York Jets, appearing in 10 games and making two starts, and has played several positions on the offensive line.

Schweitzer has connections to Mike Vrabel's staff, like many of the Patriots' free agent signings thus far.
New Patriots receivers coach Todd Downing was the pass-game coordinator in New York during Schweitzer's tenure with the Jets.
Despite bringing in Morgan Moses earlier in free agency, the Patriots still have numerous holes to fill across the offensive line. An already thin unit lost a crucial piece on Thursday, as the team released longtime center and captain David Andrews.
