Every Patriots signing, so far, will likely be a starter and #1 at their respective positions other than Davis (#2 CB) and Hooper (#2 TE).

The Patriots and DT Milton Williams (Eagles) reached agreement on a four-year deal averaging $26 million per season, sources tell ESPN.

Williams had 5 sacks, 10 quarterback hits and 7 TFLs last season, which made him a top target for a D that hopes to play on the opposite side of the line.

Patriots sign DT Milton Williams to big-money deal - Offseason Hub Few players, if any, were tied to the New England Patriots in the build-up to free agency more than defensive tackle Milton Williams. On Monday, those rumors

Had any player been linked to the Patriots more than Milton Williams over the past few weeks? offseason.985thesportshub.com/patriots-sig...

Someone who’s coached under Mike Vrabel told me the other day that “he has a clear vision of what he wants.”

Although winning in March guarantees nothing in September, it’s clear that the Patriots are building a defense in their coach’s image.

Milton Williams will quickly become a fan favorite among New England #Patriots fans. They are doing an excellent job addressing some serious team needs. Wide receiver and left tackle on the two obvious exceptions so far.

The Patriots so far in free agency

The #Patriots are reportedly making Williams the NFL's 3rd-highest paid DL by average annual value.

Monster deal.

DT Milton Williams agreed to a deal averaging $26M per year.

His 17.6% win percentage as a pass rusher ranked 4th among all interior defenders last season (per @ PFF, min. 150 rushes).

#Patriots new-look defense, per reports:

EDGE: Harold Landry
DT: Milton Williams
DT: Christian Barmore (?)
EDGE: Keion White
MLB: Ja'Whaun Bentley
WLB: Spillane/Tavai
Field CB: Carlton Davis
Boundary CB: Christian Gonzalez
FS: Kyle Dugger

Nickel: M. Jones (?)

Milton Williams was close with Carolina...but he's signing with the New England Patriots, per Adam Schefter!

Pats are spending BIG on defense.

Milton Williams now to the Patriots 😱 Vrabs not playing around on the defensive side of the football

Mike Vrabel's defenses (in Houston and Tennessee) were mediocre on average. with the investments the Patriots have made there ... the expectation should be higher

$26M/YR is HUGE money.

This will end up being one of the most underrated signings from a player you don’t know enough about!

the new england patriots

The #Patriots are having a decent afternoon…

Harold Landry (3yr, $43M)
Carlton Davis (3yr, $60M)
Robert Spillane (3yr, $37M)
Morgan Moses (3yr, $24M)
Milton Williams (4yr, $100M+)

… and should have plenty of room to do more.

Rap: DT Milton Williams to officially sign with the Patriots.

The deal will average $26 million per year, per souce

Patriots defense appears ready to rise ….

Massive reversal of fortune. Pats use the cash that you've been clamoring for. At this money, he's gonna need to play more than 40 some odd percent of the snaps. Williams is a great fit for what they plan to do.

Wild turn of events. Patriots land their top target

Milton Williams + a healthy (hopefully) Christian Barmore has the makings of a nasty interior that can play off one another. Williams also has positional/alignment flexibility along the front
