The New England Patriots made a significant move in free agency by signing defensive tackle Milton Williams to a four-year, $104 million deal, marking it as the largest contract in franchise history based on average annual value at $26 million per year. Although Williams' career stats are modest, analysts believe his unique age and potential under Mike Vrabel's system will allow him to excel, cementing his role as a core player for the team's future defensive strategy.
While $26 million per year for Williams is extremely high, it's rare to get someone so young (26 next month) with outstanding interior pass rush ability.
Williams' age, stellar showing during the 2024 playoffs (two sacks, fumble recovery in Super Bowl LIX), and underlying numbers all painted the picture of a talent who should wreak havoc at the line of scrimmage.
