Overview

  • Milton Williams, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles, has signed a four-year, $104 million contract with the New England Patriots, averaging $26 million per year.
  • The deal positions Williams as the third-highest-paid interior defensive lineman in the league, behind Chris Jones and Christian Wilkins.
  • Williams' dominant Super Bowl performance, including two sacks and a forced fumble, helped elevate his free agency value beyond initial projections.
  • The Patriots outbid multiple teams, including the Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals, to secure the 25-year-old defensive tackle.
  • Williams will play a key role in bolstering the Patriots' defense under new head coach Mike Vrabel, following the team's trade of Davon Godchaux earlier in the day.
