After exclusively targeting offense with their first two free agency signings on Monday, the New England Patriots went to the other side of the ball with their third. Former Cleveland Browns linebacker Sione Takitaki was added to the mix on a reported two-year, $6.5 million contract.
Adding Takitaki improves the depth at linebacker, but also in the kicking game — all at a relatively modest cost.
LB Sione Takitaki: Signed (2 years, $6.5M)
Bernd Buchmasser: Takitaki has been a solid player since entering the league as a third-round pick in 2019.
