Patriots

Patriots DT Milton Williams revealed that he nearly signed with the Panthers and was finalizing a deal with Carolina before New England swooped in and outbid them at the last moment.

“My agent was on the phone, and I was kind of in the room,” Williams said. “They were on the phone talking to teams, and teams were coming in with new deals. There was a lot going on, and it happened really fast. They talked about Carolina then and I was like, ‘alright, it sounds like the best offer we are going to get, so, we were going to go there.’ Then, a split second later, New England hopped on and was like, ‘Nah, this is what we got for you.’ Carolina felt like they went too high on their number, so, they stayed at where they were at. New England came in, and it was [over] after that. They wanted me the most and made me a priority. So, I made them a priority.”
