Christian Elliss will not be a Raider in 2025.
According to NFL Media, The New England Patriots matched Elliss’ restricted free-agent offer sheet he signed with the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday by the deadline, thus blocking him from joining the Silver and Black. The Patriots wouldn’t have received any compensation if they didn’t match because they tendered Elliss to the lowest tender.

They easily fit Elliss in.
