Patriots guard Mike Onwenu secured a revised 2026 contract with about $10 million guaranteed, lowering his cap hit; Giants wide receiver Gunner Olszewski is feared to have torn his Achilles during OTAs and will undergo further testing. The NFL roundup also highlights several league transactions, including Rams signing Max Klare and Seahawks adding Jadarian Price, among other roster moves.
Patriots guard Mike Onwenu restructured his 2026 deal to a one-year, effectively $10 million arrangement ($2.95M salary + $6M signing bonus), boosting New England's cap space by $7.5M to about $42.5M and dropping his cap hit to $17.5M; he remains under contract through 2026 but will be an unrestricted free agent next offseason, after starting all 21 games last season with 1,346 snaps.
Patriots right guard Mike Onwenu reworked his contract for 2026, taking a $7.5 million pay cut to a $10 million final-year payout, with the entire amount guaranteed. The move frees $7.5 million in cap space and comes as Onwenu has started 66 of the last 68 regular-season games, potentially enabling another move like a long‑rumored trade for A.J. Brown, though New England was already well under the cap.
Mike Onwenu, a versatile offensive lineman, has signed a three-year, $57 million contract with the New England Patriots, with $38 million guaranteed and a $22.5 million signing bonus. His return is seen as crucial for the team, but there is still work to be done on the offensive line, especially with the potential loss of Trent Brown. The Patriots' focus on solidifying their offensive line is heightened as they may draft a quarterback at No. 3 and need to ensure protection for the rookie.
The New England Patriots have reached a three-year, $57 million deal with free agent guard Mike Onwenu, who has proven himself as a versatile and durable player since being drafted in 2020. Despite being initially labeled as a guard, Onwenu has also played at tackle and tight end, showcasing his adaptability. This new contract marks a significant financial boost for Onwenu, reflecting his impressive performance and value to the team.
Mike Onwenu has agreed to a three-year, $57 million deal with the Patriots, including a $22.5 million signing bonus. The versatile lineman, who has started 56 games over the last four years, will continue to be a key part of the New England offensive line as they navigate quarterback uncertainties for the 2024 season.
The New England Patriots drafted 12 players in the 2023 NFL Draft, but the focus is on the future of their 2020 rookie class, including Kyle Dugger, Josh Uche, and Mike Onwenu, who are set to become free agents in 2024. Despite drafting defensive end Keion White, hybrid linebacker Marte Mapu, and three interior offensive linemen early on day three, the Patriots should prioritize retaining their "hits" from the 2020 class, especially with a projected $100-plus million in cap space next spring. The team should build for the future by adding rookies to their core group, not replacing key pieces.
