Despite a lack of household names, the New England Patriots’ linebacker group had a productive 2023 season. With one of its top three headed out the door, however, the need for improved depth was obvious. And so, in an effort to replace Mack Wilson after his departure to the Arizona Cardinals, the team signed former Cleveland Browns defender Sione Takitaki.
Takitaki, who was one of the better coverage linebackers in football last year, put his signature under a two-year contract with a base value of $6.645 million including $3.13 million in full guarantees.
