Alijah Vera-Tucker, the high-priced free agent for the New England Patriots, is expected to be cleared for the first day of Organized Team Activities (OTAs) despite a recent triceps injury that sidelined him for all of the 2025 season. Despite this injury, Vera-tucker has proven to be one of the NFL's best young offensive linemen when healthy. The Patriots have invested $12.75 million worth of per-game roster bonuses into his contract, which he doesn't mind.
