The New England Patriots are committed to retaining linebacker Christian Elliss for at least one more season. Ahead of the 2025 free agency period, the Patriots are planning to extend a qualifying offer to Elliss, who is set to become a restricted free agent.
The team plans to tender Elliss on a deal worth $3.263 million, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Elliss has spent the past two seasons in New England and is coming off the best year of his four-year career.
Elliss' 80 total tackles in 2024 were nearly four times as much as his previous career high.
