Patriots' free agent signing nobody noticed is quietly becoming a staple

No NFL team spent more in 2025 free agency than the New England Patriots, with defensive tackle Milton Williams, wide receiver Stefon Diggs, and pass rusher Harold Landry III headlining a class with over $360 million in total potential contract value, per Over the Cap.

Several of those new Patriots have already made strong impressions by stuffing the box score through five games. Veteran linebacker Robert Spillane, for example, leads the team in both solo tackles (25) and run-stuffs (16). Williams and Landry have proven they can affect the passer with a combined six sacks and 38 total QB pressures, according to Pro Football Focus.
