Mike Onwenu, the New England Patriots’ reliable offensive lineman, recently agreed to a restructured one-year deal worth $10 million, reducing his salary by $7.5 million while adding $8.95 million in new guarantees. This move, while seemingly unnecessary as the Patriots had ample cap space, may signal upcoming transactions, potentially including a trade for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown. Onwenu’s new contract also makes him more tradable, as his cap hit is now significantly lower. With his free agency approaching and the Patriots’ evolving offensive strategy, this restructuring may reflect both goodwill and future plans for the team.
