Patriots' Christian Gonzalez: Contract option picked up
The Patriots have exercised Gonzalez's fifth-year contract option, Mark Daniels of masslive.com reports.
As a result of the expected move, Gonzalez -- who was a Pro Bowler last season -- is in line to earn $18.1 million in 2027. Beyond that, it's still plausible that the 2023 third-rounder lands a lucrative extension from the Patriots down the road. Gonzalez is coming of a 2025 regular season in which he recorded a career-high 69 tackles and 10 defensed passes in 14 games while working as a starting cornerback opposite Carlton Davis.

Patriots' Quintayvious Hutchins: Heads to New England
The Patriots selected Hutchins in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 247th overall.
Hutchins spent his entire five-year college career in Boston College and was a regular starter on defense in 2024 and 2025. He ended his senior year with 35 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across 10 games. Hutchins was mostly used as an edge rusher, and while he was more of a role player during his time at Boston College, he has plenty of experience on special teams that could earn him some playing time in his rookie season in the NFL. Hutchins will spend the offseason and training camp competing against the likes of Elijah Ponder, rookie second-rounder Gabe Jacas and Bradyn Swinson for a rotational spot at edge rusher behind Dre'Mont Jones and Harold Landry.

Patriots' Jam Miller: Headed to New England
The Patriots selected Miller in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 245th overall.
Miller spent his entire four-year college career at Alabama, taking over a regular role on offense in 2024, resulting in 15 starts over the last two seasons. He possesses the size to handle the rigors of an NFL campaign at 5-foot-10, 209 pounds and does a good job with ball security (two fumbles in his college career) and falling forward on runs. On top of that, he put up an impressive 4.42 40-time at the NFL Combine. That said, he doesn't typically play as fast as his time and can struggle in pass blocking, hence his seventh-round selection. Miller will be tasked with etching out a role somewhere on the depth chart behind the two players locked in atop the running back room in Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

Patriots' Behren Morton: Lands in New England
The Patriots selected Morton in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 234th overall.
Morton (6-foot-2, 218 pounds) struggled as a second- and third-year starter for Texas Tech in 2022 and 2023, and even in his otherwise improved fourth season he strained to move the ball (63.3 percent completed, 7.2 yards per attempt). The positive news is Morton really fixed his touchdown to turnover ratio in that fourth season, throwing 27 touchdowns to eight interceptions. Back to the bad news: Morton is decently athletic (4.89-second pro day 40) yet took enough sacks at the collegiate level that it's reasonable to suspect both that Morton is not a threat to run at the NFL level and that he's not even a candidate to manage pocket pressure especially well. Of course, the Patriots may only view Morton as a viable backup to Drake Maye, but even that might be a hasty expectation.

Patriots' Namdi Obiazor: Taken by Patriots
New England selected Obiazor in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 212th overall.
Obiazor spent the last four seasons of his six-year college career at TCU, and he posted at least 81 total tackles in each of his past three years from 2023 to 2025. He's a well-rounded player that profiles as the quintessential linebacker; a reliable tackler that pursues the ball with earnest. He figures to serve in a reserve role at inside linebacker behind Christian Elliss and Robert Spillane, but Obiazor's experience on punt coverage in college should help him see the field on special teams during his rookie season in the NFL.

Patriots' Dametrious Crownover: Snagged by New England
The Patriots selected Crownover in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 196th overall.
Crownover (6-foot-7, 319 pounds) spent five years as a contributor at Texas A&M, and he started all 13 games in each of his final two seasons at right tackle. New England's first-round pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, Caleb Lomu, projects as the team's future starter at right tackle, with Will Campbell already solidified on the left side, meaning Crownover will compete with the likes of James Hudson, Marcus Bryant, Sebastian Gutierrez and Lorenz Metz for depth reps as a rookie.

Patriots' Karon Prunty: Headed to New England
The Patriots selected Prunty in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 171st overall.
Prunty (6-foot-1, 190 pounds) began his college career at Kansas and then spent three seasons with North Carolina AT&T before transferring to Wake Forest in 2025, where he was named to the All-ACC third team. It's something of a surprise to see Prunty come off the board this early, especially given that New England has a pair of entrenched starters at cornerback in Carlton Davis and Christian Gonzalez. As a rookie, Prunty will need to compete for depth opportunities with Kindle Vildor, Charles Woods, Kobee Minor and Marcellas Dial (ACL).
