Patriots G Mike Onwenu agrees to pay cut for 2026 season

New England Patriots right guard Mike Onwenu has agreed to a revised contract for the 2026 season, reducing his salary by $7.5 million.

Onwenu will earn $10 million in the final year of his deal, with the salary fully guaranteed. The move creates $7.5 million in cap space for the team. esporist.com

The 2020 sixth-round pick has started every game over the last two seasons. While the cap space might be used for a trade like A.J. Brown, New England was already well under the salary cap before this adjustment.
