See an updated list of signings and trades made by the Patriots:
Monday, March 10, 2025:
The Patriots opened up the checkbook to clinch one of the biggest names on the market landing in Foxboro.
Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams is heading to Foxboro on a deal that will pay the 25-year-old at least $26 million per year over 4 years, according to Ian Rapoport.
The Carolina Panthers were reportedly close to terms with the difference maker before the Patriots swooped in.
The deal makes Williams the highest-paid Patriot in team history on a yearly basis, surpassing Tom Brady.
“The biggest free agent on the market is now off the market,” Rapoport said on NFL Network.
The Super Bowl LIX champion is coming off his best season, setting career highs in sacks (five) and quarterback hits (10). Williams also ranked sixth among defensive tackles in ESPN’s pass rush win rate.
The New England Patriots are signing offensive tackle Morgan Moses to a three-year, $24 million deal, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
A third-round pick in 2014, Moses played his first seven seasons for Washington.
The Patriots are signing former Lions and Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis to a 3-year, $60 million deal
The 28-year-old DB won Super Bowl LV with Tampa Bay before the Bucs dealt him to Detroit last season. As the Lions’ #1 cornerback, Carlton’s physical man-press coverage lined him up across from the NFL’s best wide receivers.
Detroit struggled to fill the hole Davis left when he got knocked out for the season with a broken jaw in Week 15.
The deal comes with $34.5 million fully guaranteed.
The Patriots are signing standout linebacker Robert Spillane, formerly of the Las Vegas Raiders, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Spillane, 29, racked up 306 total tackles in two seasons with the Raiders. He previously spent four seasons with the Steelers and one with the Titans.
Spillane previously played for Vrabel in Tennessee in 2018.
The Patriots trade veteran defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, a four-year starter in New England, to the New Orleans Saints for a seventh-round draft pick, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Godchaux racked up 250 tackles and 2.5 sacks in his time with the Patriots.
Sunday, March 9, 2025:
The Patriots are signing former Tennessee Titans pass rusher Harold Landry to a three-year, $43.5 million deal, according to the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Landry, 28, was a standout at Boston College from 2014-17. He later played under Vrable in Tennessee.
In six NFL seasons, Landry has tallied 50.5 sacks, 397 total tackles, 102 quarterback hits, and 70 tackles for a loss.
Landry’s best season came in 2021, when he recorded 12 sacks.
Sunday, March 9, 2025:
The Patriots re-sign veteran tight end Austin Hooper to a one-year, $5 million deal with a max value of $7 million, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
In his first season in New England in 2024, Hooper caught 45 passes for 476 yards and three touchdowns.
The two-time Pro Bowler is just 24 catches away from reaching 500 career receptions.
This list will be updated as the Patriots make moves in free agency.
