Mike Reiss
Foxborough, Mass.
The offer sheet was a two -year contract, sources told ESPN, so Elliss will be under contract to New England during the 2026 season.
Elliss of 6 feet 2 and 231 pounds, which enters its fourth season of the NFL in 2025, is seen by the Patriots as an ascending player who runs well and has his best football ahead. It started five games last season, totaling a total of 72 cup with 1.5 captures, 5 defendant passes and an interception.
As a restricted free agent, Elliss was presented by the Patriots at the low level of $ 3.26 million. Because Elliss entered the NFL as a non -recruited free agent, the low -level tender meant that if another team signed it on an offer sheet, the Patriots would not receive any selection compensation.
The Raiders, who lost the starting supporter Robert Spillane against the Patriots in the free agency, welcomed Elliss in a visit on March 17. Elliss signed the two -year -old offers sheet with the Raiders two days later, and the Patriots had until Monday to match.
Elliss, 26, has played in 39 career NFL games, with six openings. He is the brother of the Falcons supporter of Atlanta, Kaden Elliss, and the Selection of the Third Round of Denver Broncos 2024, Jonah Elliss.
