Overview
- NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports the former Browns tackle met with New England and visited Detroit on Thursday, with additional team visits planned next week, and he says he fully expects to be on a roster this season.
- Wills did not play in 2025 as he completed recovery from a lingering knee injury that began with an MCL tear in 2023 and limited him to 13 total games across 2023 and 2024.
- The 2020 No. 10 overall pick, now 26, started 57 games primarily at left tackle for Cleveland and earned PFWA All-Rookie honors early in his career.
- New England’s look reflects depth needs behind left tackle Will Campbell and 35-year-old right tackle Morgan Moses, with backups Vederian Lowe and Thayer Munford entering free agency.
- Detroit’s interest comes with Taylor Decker returning for 2026 and staff familiarity through new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, with expectations Wills would compete as a swing tackle rather than step in as an immediate starter.
