Instant grade for Patriots signing Khyiris Tonga in NFL free agency
Briefly

The New England Patriots continued to enhance their defensive line by signing Khyiris Tonga to a one-year, $2.7 million deal, following the acquisition of Milton Williams. Analysts have given the signing varied grades, acknowledging Tonga's size and potential as a pass rusher, while also noting concerns about his lack of recent performance. Observers see him fitting into a rotational role, particularly as a substitute for the departed Davon Godchaux. Despite his previous success, concerns exist about his consistency as a reliable starter.
They can't all be starters, right? Tonga is a big-bodied DT capable of eating space up front while still offering some pass rush potential.
Cheap money for a DT who has been playable with some success in his career.
Tonga brings size to the middle after the trade of Godchaux, although he's brought more as a pass rusher than a run stuffer.
Big body for the middle of the defensive line. Started off his career strong, but hasn't done much as of late.
