"During the 2025 offseason, one of the weakest parts of the Patriots' roster that they needed to address was their pass rush, which Mike Vrabel and Co. addressed almost immediately. Beyond adding Milton Williams, they also brought in linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson, who was coming off a career-best season with the Raiders. He was given a one-year contract, with most believing it was a prove-it deal"
"Chaisson was given more opportunities to show what he could for the Patriots' defense in recent weeks, especially with Harold Landry sidelined with an injury, and his production might be more than enough to earn an extension with New England, which would be a smart move for the front office to offer. The Patriots need to seriously consider re-signing K'Lavon Chaisson in free agency after this season's performance"
"Although their pass rush is still not their best defensive asset, Chaisson has been a consistent performer and earned a massive incentive with his seventh sack against Miami in Week 18. That brought him to the most sacks in a single season of his career, and he recorded that in just 15 games. K'Lavon Chaisson earned $500,00 today. He had an incentive at 7 sacks and finished the season with 7.5.- Mark Daniels (@ByMarkDaniels) January 5, 2026"
During the 2025 offseason the Patriots prioritized improving their pass rush and added Milton Williams and linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson. Chaisson signed a one-year prove-it contract after a career-best season with the Raiders and capitalized on increased opportunities, especially while Harold Landry was injured. He finished the regular season with 7.5 sacks in 15 games, earning an incentive for reaching seven sacks. His late-season production and potential postseason impact make him a logical candidate for an affordable extension. Locking Chaisson up before other teams show interest would secure a consistent, ascending pass-rush contributor.
