Alijah Vera-Tucker is now a former Jet and a new rival.

The often-injured offensive lineman agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract worth up to $48 milliion with the Patriots late Monday night, according to ESPN.

Vera-Tucker had been taken by the Jets in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, but his time in East Rutherford has been marred by injuries, which included a torn triceps that occurred in practice ahead of Week 1

The Jets put him on season-ending injured reserve on Sept. 6.

Vera-Tucker had been expected to test the free agency waters and The Post’s Brian Costello reported that it had been believed that Vera-Tucker wanted a fresh start after five injury-plagued seasons with Gang Green.

There had been some thought that Vera-Tucker would be interested in going to the Giants.

The offensive line had been one of the Patriots' biggest needs this offseason and Vera-Tucker helps address that, though it comes with the caveat of his health.

Kansas City was busy in free agency late Monday night.

Andy Reid's team is signing former Ravens safety Alohi Gilman to a three-year, $24.5 million deal with $15 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports. Gilman helped stabilize the Ravens defense after coming over from the Chargers and was the team's sixth-leading tackler with 68.

The Chiefs also brought back one of their own, re-signing wide receiver Tyquan Thornton on a two-year pact worth $11 million that has a max value of $14 million, according to NFL Network. Thorton is coming off a career-high 438 yards receiving last season.

The purge of Jacksonville's stars continued as Pro Bowl linebacker Devin Lloyd agreed to a three-year, $45 million contract, with $25 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports on Monday night. He was considered one of the best linebackers available.

It was the second big free agent addition on defense for the Panthers, who also came to terms with linebacker Jaelan Phillips on a four-year, $120 million pact.

Lloyd is coming off a monster year with a career-best five interceptions, including returning one 99 yards for a touchdown.

The Jaguars also saw dynamic running back Travis Etienne head to the Saints on a four-year, $52 million contract.

The Saints brought hometown product Travis Etienne aboard in free agency, leaving the status of longtime star rusher Alvin Kamara way up in the air.

The 30-year-old has been a stalwart on the offensive backfield since New Orleans selected him in the third round of the 2017 draft. Over nine seasons as a dual-threat running back, he's collected 12,198 all-purpose yards and 86 touchdowns over 126 games.

The 2025 season, however, represented the worst of his career as the Saints transitioned to a bit of a rebuild with unproven quarterback play. He put up just 471 rushing yards with one trip to the end zone to go with 33 catches for 186 yards -- all career-lows.

New Orleans reworked Kamara's contract in recent weeks, paving the way for a smooth split should one occur -- and according to multiple NFL insiders, other teams are exploring just that.

JK Dobbins' 2025 campaign ended early with a foot injury as he was rushing toward a career year.

The Broncos clearly liked what they saw of the 27-year-old in his first year with the team, as he rushed 153 times for 772 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games.

He'll be back on a two-year, $20 million deal with $8 million guaranteed at signing, per multiple reports.

Hours after Kenneth Gainwell bolted for a deal in Tampa, the Steelers filled their vacant running back slot with Rico Dowdle.

The 27-year-old broke the 1,000-yard plateau for the season straight season -- his first with the Panthers -- in 2025, going off for 1,076 yard on 236 carries to go with a career-best 6 touchdowns.

His campaigned included three outings of 100-plus rushing yards, going off for 206 yards on the ground (234 total) against the Dolphins in Week 5 and following that up with 183 rushing yards (239 total) vs. the Cowboys the next week.

Dowdle ceded touches to Chuba Hubbard as the season went on, paving the way for his free agency turn.

Now he'll compete with Jaylen Warren to be Pittsburgh's lead back.

Reed Blankenship is headed to Houston on a three-year, $24.75 million deal that comes with $16.5 million in guaranteed cash, per multiple reports.

The 27-year-old, set to enter his fifth NFL season, won a Super Bowl with the Eagles in 2024.

Over 56 games -- all with Philly, which signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Middle Tennessee -- has posted 308 tackles and nine interceptions.

Rashid Shaheed's stay in Seattle will be extended -- to the tune of three years and $51 million, per ESPN -- month after he was acquired at the NFL trade deadline and played a massive role in the Seahawks' Super Bowl 2026 win.

The wideout and Pro Bowl kick returner started a Week 16 rally against the Rams with a 58-yard punt return for a touchdown, and then added another big score in Seattle's first win of the postseason on a 95-yard kickoff return against the 49ers.

As the third receiver in the Seahawks offense, he added 352 total yars on 29 touches over 12 games.

Kenny Pickett heads to the Panthers on a one-year deal worth $7.5 million, per ESPN, with $4 million in guarantees.

The 27-year-old, who played a No. 2 role behind Geno Smith in Las Vegas last season, now joins his fifth team in five years after being drafted by the Steelers in the first round in 2022.

He was traded to the Eagles before the 2024 season and dealt to the Browns before being moved to the Raiders in 2025.

Former Eagles linebacker Nakob Dean is headed to Sin City on a three-year deal, his agent announced Monday.

A 2022 third-round pick by Philly, Dean has racked up 226 tackles with 7.5 sacks and an interceptions over four season in the City of Brotherly Love.

He'll get three years and $36 million from the Raiders -- $20 million guaranteed, per NFL Network.

Dean will have some company in Quay Walker, with the ex-Packers linebacker reaching an agreement with Las Vegas on a three-year, $40.5 million deal that includes $28 million guaranteed.

They join a free agency haul that includes center Tyler Linderbaum, defensive lineman Kwity Paye and receiver Jalen Nailor among others.

New Orleans has agreed to terms with tight end Noah Fant, per NFL Network, which reports its a two-year deal.

The 28-year-old joins running back Travis Etienne as Saints additions on Monday, coming off a 34-catch, 288-yard 2025 with the Bengals in which he posted three touchdowns.

New Orleans now boasts an offense with second-year QB Tyler Shough under center throwing to the likes of receivers Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele, with tight ends Juwan Johnson and Fant in the mix and Etienne taking over rushing duties.

Miami re-signed tight end Greg Dulcich to a one-year, $3.25 million deal, per ESPN.

The 25-year-old former Giant made 26 catches for 335 yards with the Dolphins last season, both his highest totals since 2022, his rookie season with the Broncos.
