Patriots are urged to extend key defensive star before it’s too late

The New England Patriots' Mike Vrabel undertook a major roster rebuild in the 2025 offseason. One position he addressed was the edge on defense. He signed free agents Harold Landry III, who has performed as expected, and also K'Lavon Chaisson, who has exceeded expectations after nine games and is headed for a career season with 5.5 sacks already.

Chaisson's previous high had been five sacks in 2024. The Patriots took a one-year flyer on the player, and thus far, he's been everything they could have hoped for. Chaisson has been a fixture on the right side opposite Landry on the left.
