The New England Patriots signed Christian Elliss to a two-year $13.5 million deal to match the Las Vegas Raiders' contract offer for the restricted free agent linebacker.
The breakdown of the contract was confirmed by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Elliss is coming off a 2024 season that saw him emerge as a key component of the linebacker room. He recorded 80 tackles, a forced fumble and an interception. His contributions came at the perfect time for a Patriots linebacker unit hampered by injuries throughout the season.
Eliss will be a returning face on a Patriots team that has undergone a dramatic makeover.
