The New England Patriots didn’t just make moves in the 2025 free-agent market-they made statements. Two of the biggest?
Offensive tackle Morgan Moses and edge rusher K’Lavon Chaisson. Now, with the Super Bowl within reach, those signings are looking like masterstrokes.
Moses, the seasoned vet up front, and Chaisson, the relentless pass rusher flying off the edge opposite Harold Landry III, have played pivotal roles in the Patriots’ dramatic turnaround-from a four-win team to a legitimate Super Bowl contender. And while their impact shows up on film and in the stat sheets, it’s the chemistry behind the scenes that’s helped drive this resurgence.
“That’s my dog right there,” Moses said this week when asked about Chaisson. “We played each other in multiple facets throughout our career on different teams and things like that.
… You go against him every day, and that’s a guy that you don’t want to give up a sack to because he will talk all practice. It’s a guy that you wanna go up against every day because he’s gonna make you better.”
That quote says a lot more than just friendly banter. It speaks to a culture shift in Foxborough-one built on competition, accountability, and mutual respect.
Moses, with his years of experience and steady presence, has anchored the offensive line. And Chaisson?
He’s brought juice to the defense, giving the Patriots a disruptive edge presence they’ve sorely needed.
What’s made their dynamic so valuable is the way they push each other. Moses doesn’t want to let Chaisson beat him in practice, and Chaisson knows going up against a veteran like Moses sharpens his game. That daily grind, that iron-sharpens-iron mentality, has become a theme for this Patriots squad.
Now, with the biggest stage just days away, both players are set to share the field again-this time not as rivals in practice, but as cornerstones of a team that’s one win away from the NFL’s mountaintop. They were brought in as foundational pieces during a rebuild. They've since become much more than that.
They’ve helped redefine what Patriots football looks like in this new era.
