Report: Milton Williams, Patriots Agree to $104M Contract After Eagles' Super Bowl Win

After four years in Philadelphia, Milton Williams is reportedly moving on from the Eagles.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, Williams agreed to a contract with the New England Patriots.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported it's a four-year, $104 million contract, with $63 million guaranteed.

Schefter reported earlier on Monday that the Carolina Panthers were working to finalize a deal with the defensive tackle.

Williams, a third-round pick out of Louisiana Tech in the 2021 NFL draft, spent the first four seasons of his career with the Eagles. In his time in Philadelphia, he amassed 132 tackles, 11.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and six passes defended.

Though Williams was solid through his first three seasons, he had a breakout year in 2024, logging 24 tackles, a career-high five sacks and a forced fumble. He added 10 quarterback hits and seven tackles for loss.

He was just as good during the Eagles' playoff run and was a major factor in the Super Bowl, picking up four tackles and two sacks against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also forced and recovered a fumble.

After his standout year, Williams was widely considered one of the best interior defensive linemen on the free-agency market. One could even argue he was one of the best free agents available in general.

The Eagles likely would have preferred to keep Williams, but a championship team has lots of players to pay and ultimately couldn't make it work.

Now, Williams will look to continue trending upward with the Patriots.

New England is coming off another year of struggles, going 4-13 in 2024. Adding Williams adds some talent to the Patriots' defensive front as they look to upgrade their roster this offseason.
