Carlton Davis III sees the New England Patriots as a hot destination for upcoming free agents to desire playing for in 2026.
The Patriots advanced to the Super Bowl this year, losing to the Seattle Seahawks 29-13. Davis III started all 17 games of the regular season, as well as all four games in the 2025 NFL playoffs at cornerback. The 29-year-old finished with two interceptions in the postseason. Despite the loss, the Patriots went 9-0 on the road, regular season and playoffs included. New England became AFC champions behind AP NFL MVP runner-up Drake Maye.
According to Sports Illustrated’s Mike Kadlick, Davis III believes the Patriots offer a fun, winning culture for players to want to join in the offseason:
“Why wouldn’t you want to be here if we’re gonna compete for championships? We’re gonna win games and we have a good time doing it… I don’t see a reason why you wouldn’t wanna play here,” Davis said.
Patriots linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson, defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga, safety Jaylinn Hawkins, as well as offensive tackle Thayer Munford Jr., will all be unrestricted free agents when the market opens for players to start signing with teams on March 11. According to Over the Cap, New England has $42.7 million in cap space for 2026 to strengthen their roster for another hopeful run to the Super Bowl next season.
