The New England Patriots landed an ex-Raiders star in free agency on Monday. Robert Spillane agreed to a $37 million contract after a 158-tackle season, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
While Spillane was a savage for the Raiders, he takes his talents to Foxborough. Not to mention, he was one of the top defenders on Las Vegas. When Maxx Crosby went down, the focus shifted to Spillane.
Even when Crosby was healthy, Spillane kept track of the middle of the field and was a quality coverage linebacker. Now, he’ll have the opportunity to play in Mike Vrabel’s defensive scheme with the Patriots.
We will update this story with more details.
