In a recent update from the NFL Scouting Combine, New England Patriots executive vice president of player personnel, Eliot Wolf, shared some promising news for fans. Both linebacker Harold Landry and right tackle Morgan Moses are expected to return for the 2026 season, providing a boost to the Patriots' roster.
Wolf, addressing the media, confirmed that neither Landry nor Moses are free agents this offseason, which should ease some concerns about their future with the team. Landry, a key defensive player, inked a three-year, $43.5 million deal in 2025. Despite a knee injury sidelining him during the playoffs, his performance throughout the season, including 8.5 sacks and 19 quarterback hits, solidified his importance to the defense.
On the offensive side, Morgan Moses, who joined the Patriots on a three-year, $24 million contract before last season, continues to defy age-related expectations. At 34, his reliability was evident as he allowed just one sack and five hits, earning a commendable player grade of 74 from Pro Football Focus.
Wolf’s comments suggest that the Patriots are counting on both Landry and Moses to maintain their high level of play. With these two veterans expected to return, New England fans can look forward to a season where both defense and offensive protection remain strong pillars of the team’s strategy.
