One of the top selections in the 2025 NFL Draft is officially under contract.
The New England Patriots and No. 4 overall pick Will Campbell have agreed to a four-year, $43.66 million contract on June 3. The contract is fully guaranteed and includes a $28.39 million signing bonus, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Campbell is a marquee piece in the Patriots‘ overhaul of the offensive line in 2025 in front of second-year quarterback Drake Maye. The team also signed center Garrett Bradbury and tackle Morgan Moses in free agency and drafted center Jared Wilson in Round 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft.

That overhaul coincides with a new coaching regime that sees former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels return to that role under head coach Mike Vrabel.
Campbell started three years at left tackle in college with the LSU Tigers. He’s expected to start at that position as a rookie for New England.
He was widely considered one of the best offensive lineman in the draft class – along with New York Jets tackle Armand Membou – but by far the best left tackle prospect.
