Patriots' $3 million gamble has quietly delivered a massive payoff

No team spent more money than the New England Patriots this past offseason. Yet, it's one of their signings that's proving to be among the most impactful: linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson.

Chaisson has been a revelation in his inaugural campaign with the Patriots. He's been everything they could've hoped for and more since inking him to a one-year, $3 million "prove it" deal this past March.

An 11-2 New England club went on bye atop the AFC standings and with its first division title since 2019 firmly in reach. Chaisson has unexpectedly been at the center of it all.
