Zach Wilson wasn’t the only former BYU talent to make NFL free agency news Monday.
Defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga has agreed to terms on a deal with the New England Patriots, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Though free agency doesn’t officially begin until Wednesday afternoon, teams could begin negotiating with players Monday. Thus, Tonga’s reported one-year, $2.7 million deal will not be made official by New England until Wednesday at the earliest.
Since entering the league in 2021, Tonga has played for the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals, appearing in 53 total games with six starts on the defensive line.
