You would think that after a soul-crushing loss like the one the Pats had, he’d want to get away from football as much as possible before having to ramp back up again. Nope.

The Patriots kicked off their 2026 external free agency by looking to the edge, signing linebacker Jesse Luketa to a one-year contract. Because Luketa finished the 2025 season on the Los Angeles Rams’ practice squad rather than an active roster, he was eligible to sign with New England immediately, bypassing the usual wait for the league’s legal tampering period.
