Khyiris Tonga's Free Agency: Patriots or New Team?

0:00NFL stories, making news on March 9th. Cairo's Tonga is hitting free agency on March 11, leaving fans wondering if the 29-year-old will stick with the New England Patriots. Into 20-26, he started 8 games for them last season, a big jump from his earlier years. Tonga saw more snaps and stepped up his game, notching two battered passes for the first time since 2022 with the Vikings. He also hit career highs with two tackles for a loss and two quarterback hits. That solid year helped the Patriots reach Super Bowl 60, though they failed to the Seattle Seahawks 29-13. It was his best shot at team success so far, plus he pocketed $2.2 million, topping his prior earnings. His market value sits at $3.1 million for next year, giving him options on the open market. Dicking with New England means rejoining a steady defense in a winning setup. Still, riders like Jordy McAroy and Matt Legros both predict Tonga will sign elsewhere in free agency.
