Having both the resources and the need, the New England Patriots opened the checkbook to sign Milton Williams in free agency. It took a four-year, $104 million contract to convince Williams to join a Patriots defensive line unit that had underperformed in 2024.
With Williams in the fold heading into 2025, however, the Patriots are hoping for some improved production out of the group. The 26-year-old will have an active hand in that happening, as will two of the teammates he is, by his own admission, excited to share the field with: Christian Barmore and Keion White.
