The Patriots reportedly have a new force in the trenches.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, New England signed defensive tackle Milton Williams to a multi-year contract on the first day of the NFL’s legal tampering period. ESPN’s Adam Schefter added that Williams agreed to a four-year, $104 million contract with New England that includes $63 million guaranteed.
It’s a hefty contract doled out by the Patriots, who landed arguably the top free agent on the market in the 25-year-old Williams.
