One of the more notable free agents this offseason is coming off the board. The New England Patriots have agreed to terms with former Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams, according to CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones.

Milton Williams is a big man with a big contract, and he has big plans for the New England Patriots defense. The Patriots introduced the defensive lineman to New England on Thursday, as the team welcomed in four of its signings from the first week of NFL free agency.

Milton Williams wasn't a starter with the Eagles. That admission motivates the defensive tackle, who jumps from rotational player with the Eagles to the top player on the depth chart with the Patriots.

The Eagles are losing Milton Williams to the New England Patriots in NFL free agency, according to multiple reports.

The Patriots were far from the only suitor for Williams, with multiple teams lining up to give the D-lineman a significant pay day given his age, production (five sacks, 10 QB hits, seven tackles for loss in 2024), and stellar play during the 2024 playoffs.

Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams is heading to the Patriots on a richer deal, but he waved goodbye online.

After watching him almost sign with the Panthers, Mike Vrabel reveals how the Patriots were able to land Milton Williams in free agency.
