The Patriots are reportedly continuing to beef up their defense this offseason.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Patriots are signing edge rusher K’Lavon Chaisson to a 1-year, $5M deal, giving New England another player capable of putting opposing quarterbacks under duress.
Chaisson, 25, is coming off a solid 2024 season with the Las Vegas Raiders where he recorded 32 tackles, five sacks, eight quarterback hits, and forced two fumbles over 15 games (four starts).
It was Chaisson’s most productive season to date in the NFL, with the former LSU Tiger struggling to generate much traction after being taken 20th overall by Jacksonville in the 2020 NFL Draft.
