The initial selection in the 2026 New England Patriots draft class has put pen to paper. Offensive tackle Caleb Lomu officially signed his rookie contract on Monday, the organization announced. Lomu, 21, landed at pick No. 28 overall in April’s first round following an AFC East trade with the Buffalo Bills. The Utah product marked the seventh tackle prospect off the board. He moves forward with a four-year, $18.9 million deal that includes a fifth-year option for 2030.
