Patriots rookie Gabe Jacas saga

Entities: New England Patriots · Gabe Jacas · Jeremiah Webb · Mike Vrabel

Overview

In late July 2026, the New England Patriots signed second‑round rookie Gabe Jacas to a four‑year contract worth up to $8.6 million, completing the signing of their entire draft class. The deal followed weeks of negotiations over Jacas’ medical history, including a recent knee procedure.

A few days later, the Patriots placed Jacas on the non‑football injury (NFI) list, preventing him from practicing until cleared. The move was described as a cautious approach while the team continues preseason preparations, and it freed a roster spot for wide receiver Jeremiah Webb, who was moved to season‑ending injured reserve.
