Patriots Release Sione Takitaki
The New England Patriots announced on Wednesday that they released linebacker Sione Takitaki. The 29-year-old former third-round pick (80th overall) by the Cleveland Browns in 2019 out of BYU, Takitaki played in 11 contests (four starts) with New England last season and had just 21 tackles (seven solo) for the Patriots in a rotational role. The Patriots will save around $2.8 million on the 2025 salary cap with the move to release Takitaki. He'll hit the free-agent market a bit early and will hope to latch on with another team to provide linebacker depth. In his six seasons in the NFL, Takitaki has produced 289 tackles (164 solo), four sacks, 14 tackles for loss, eight QB hits, two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), four pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 83 games played (40 starts).
