2023 Fantasy Outlook
While it's still possible that Onwenu could move back to right tackle, where he started 12 games as a rookie in 2020, it seems more likely that the 6-3, 350-pounder will remain the Patriots' starter at right guard this coming season. In that context, the team's line would feature a starting unit that would also likely include Trent Brown, Cole Strange, David Andrews, Mike and Riley Reiff. Read Past Outlooks
Getting new deal in New England
The Patriots plan to sign Onwenu to a three-year, $57 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Over four years with New England, Onwenu has missed just two games, so the Patriots expect to retain stability on their offensive line for the future. They're also hoping to improve a rushing offense that ranked 26th in the league in 2023.
