After Christian Barmore was sidelined with blood clots last season, it was obvious that the Patriots were in dire need of some help along the defensive line this offseason.<\/p>\n

On Monday, they solved that problem in a significant way.<\/p>\n

According to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Patriots have agreed to terms with Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams<\/strong><\/a>, with New England adding to a defense that has already seen them make a couple of additions so far after the legal tampering window opened.<\/p>\n

Williams addition is certainly notable, with the Patriots adding a player who was a huge part of Philadelphia’s defense last season.\u00a0 He finished third on the team with sacks with 5 during the regular season in 2024, and also added two more during the postseason, both of which came in their Super Bowl blowout win over the Chiefs.<\/p>\n

He also forced a fumble by Patrick Mahomes in the fourth quarter of that game, which led to a field goal that extended Philadelphia’s lead to 40-6.<\/p>\n

His addition is a terrific one, to say the least.\u00a0 The former 2021 3rd round pick is just 25 years old and becomes a foundational piece alongside Barmore, giving the Patriots an unbelievable young duo up front.<\/p>\n

While Barmore’s health remains a question mark, Williams certainly alleviates any concerns at the defensive tackle spot and adds to a defense that has already made a couple of additional solid signings<\/strong> <\/a>to start things off to begin free agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
