Mike Onwenu Agrees to Pay Cut for 2026 Season

The move slashes Onwenu's pay by $7.5 million and fully guarantees the remaining salary. Onwenu, a 2020 sixth-round pick, has started every game over the last two seasons and 66 of the team's last 68 contests. djcc.club

The reduction creates $7.5 million in cap space for New England. While this could facilitate a trade for wide receiver A.J. Brown, the Patriots were already well under the salary cap before this adjustment.
