Knighton had been talking with both the Pats and Redskins. The signing represents a nice consolation prize for the Patriots, who lost out on Nick Fairley when the former Lions defensive lineman signed with the Saints earlier this month.

Knighton was ranked No. 56 on Around The NFL's top 99 free agents.
