Patriots' Christian Elliss: Offer matched by New England
The Patriots matched Elliss' offer sheet from the Raiders on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Elliss was extended an offer sheet by Las Vegas on March 19, but the Patriots are retaining the 26-year-old linebacker. His new contract is a two-year deal, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. Elliss logged a career year in 2024, with 80 tackles (42 solo) including 1.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season appearances (five starts).

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Receives offer from Las Vegas
Elliss signed an offer sheet from the Raiders on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Elliss became a restricted free agent when the Patriots tendered him March 8. Though he agreed to an offer sheet with the Raiders, New England will have until Monday to match that offer and retain the 26-year-old linebacker. He started in five of his 16 appearances for New England in 2024, finishing with 80 tackles (42 solo), 1.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Tendered by New England
The Patriots tendered Elliss on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
By tendering Elliss, the Patriots will have the opportunity to match any offer that another team makes for the 26-year-old interior linebacker. Elliss mostly played on special teams at the start of the 2024 regular season, but he saw his role on the defense grow due to the absence of Ja'Whaun Bentley (pectoral). Elliss ended up drawing five starts last year and accumulated 80 tackles (42 solo), including 1.5 sacks, five passes defended (one interception) and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Sees more defensive work in 2024
Elliss recorded 80 total tackles (42 solo), including 1.5 sacks, five passes defended, (including one interception) and one forced fumble over 16 games in 2024.
Elliss finished as the Patriots' third-leading tackler in 2024, setting new career highs in tackles, sacks, passes defended, interceptions and forced fumbles while playing 481 defensive snaps. The Idaho product made five starts this season, helping the Patriots' defense fill the void of the injured Ja'Whaun Bentley (pectoral), who tallied 347 total tackles from 2021 to 2023. Elliss is set to become a restricted free agent this summer, meaning the Patriots will have the opportunity to match any offer he receives. If Elliss returns to New England in 2025, he's likely to serve as one of the team's top reserve inside linebackers.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Past head injury
Elliss (head) was left off the Patriots' injury report Wednesday.
The 25-year-old sustained a head injury in the Patriots' Week 15 loss to the Cardinals, but his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests that he's already recovered from the issue. With Elliss back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of New England's top inside linebackers in a divisional matchup against the Bills on Sunday.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Questionable to return
Elliss (head) is questionable to return Sunday versus the Cardinals.
Elliss suffered a head injury in the second half of Sunday's matchup, leaving his status for the rest of the game up in the air. The Patriots are already shorthanded at linebacker, and if Elliss can't return, they will have to turn to Sione Takitaki.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Gets first pick as pro
Elliss recorded four tackles (three solo) and an interception during Sunday's 25-24 loss versus the Colts.
For the first interception of his career, Elliss found himself in the right place at the right time late in the first quarter when teammate Jahlani Tavai tipped an Anthony Richardson pass sky high. Despite the highlight play in Week 13, his production as a tackler isn't enough to keep him in the realm of IDP relevance for the fantasy playoffs in most formats.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Making return in Week 11
Elliss (abdomen) is not among New England's inactives for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Elliss will return from a one-game absence due to an injury to his abdomen. The 25-year-old's return will likely result in less defensive snaps for Sione Takitaki. Elliss accumulated 24 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in his three games prior to last week's absence.

Patriots' Christian Elliss: Could return Sunday
Elliss (abdomen) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams.
The Idaho product missed the Patriots' Week 10 win over the Bears due to an abdomen injury but practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week, giving himself a chance to play Sunday. If Elliss is forced to miss his second consecutive game in Week 11, expect Curtis Jacobs to start alongside Jahlani Tavai in New England's linebacker corps.
