"No NFL team spent more in 2025 free agency than the New England Patriots, with defensive tackle Milton Williams, wide receiver Stefon Diggs, and pass rusher Harold Landry III headlining a class with over $360 million in total potential contract value, per Over the Cap. Several of those new Patriots have already made strong impressions by stuffing the box score through five games."
"Nobody was talking about Tonga when the Patriots signed him to a $2.1 million contract on March 10. The massive nose tackle had been little more than a gap-stuffing role player throughout his previous stops in Chicago, Minnesota, and Arizona. Six months later, it's almost impossible not to notice big No. 95 and his flowing black hair whenever he gets on field."
The New England Patriots led all NFL teams in 2025 free-agent spending, signing Milton Williams, Stefon Diggs, and Harold Landry III as part of a class exceeding $360 million in potential value per Over the Cap. Several newcomers have already impacted games through five weeks, with linebacker Robert Spillane leading the team in solo tackles (25) and run-stuffs (16). Williams and Landry have combined for six sacks and 38 quarterback pressures, per Pro Football Focus. Defensive contributions have come across the roster, and Khyiris Tonga, a March signee on a $2.1 million deal, has emerged as a stout run-stuffer with a 74.3 PFF grade.
