Patriots Sign Will Campbell to $43.7M Rookie Deal

The New England Patriots have signed LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell, the fourth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, to a fully guaranteed four-year, $43.66 million contract with a $28.39 million signing bonus. The deal was finalized after negotiations over its payment structure. Campbell is expected to start immediately at left tackle, strengthening a revamped offensive line that includes new additions Garrett Bradbury and Morgan Moses. Coaches and observers have praised Campbell's work ethic and dedication during offseason activities, addressing earlier concerns about his arm length. With only two 2025 draft picks—running back TreVeyon Henderson and safety Craig Woodson—still unsigned, Campbell's signing marks a key step in the Patriots' offseason rebuild. Campbell is now considered a foundational piece for New England's future.
