Patriots Land Alijah Vera-Tucker on Three-Year Deal Worth Up to $48 Million

The Giants’ pursuit reportedly stalled over contract length.

Overview

  • New England agreed Monday night to a three-year contract reported at $42 million, with potential to reach about $48 million, keeping the former Jets lineman in the AFC East.
  • He is projected to start at left guard, with reports mapping him between left tackle Will Campbell and Jared Wilson if Wilson moves to center after the Garrett Bradbury trade.
  • The Giants lost out after a reported impasse on term, and SNY’s Connor Hughes says they are expected to pivot to guard option Wyatt Teller.
  • A 2021 first-round pick, Vera-Tucker has started at every offensive line spot except center, offering New England notable positional flexibility.
  • Injury risk shadows the signing after a torn Achilles and two torn triceps limited him to 43 of 85 career games, including missing all of 2025.
