Patriots agreed to terms with DT Khyiris Tonga, formerly of the Cardinals, on a one-year, $2.7 million contract.
A former seventh-round pick of the Bears back in 2021, Tonga has spent most of his career as a backup. He’s started seven of the 53 games he has appeared in and is now set to join his fourth team in five seasons. Tonga will likely serve as a rotational player in Mike Vrabel’s defense, and has been used primarily on rush downs during his career.
Cardinals signed DT Khyiris Tonga to a one-year contract.
A seventh-rounder in 2021, Tonga was waived by the Bears after just one year. He joined the Falcons’s practice squad in 2022 but was scooped up by the Vikings midway through the season. Tonga appeared in 14 games last year and totaled 15 tackles plus one TFL. He will be a depth option for the Cardinals’ defensive line and could get some run on special teams.
Vikings signed NT Khyiris Tonga.
The 2021 seventh-rounder was on Atlanta's practice squad. Minnesota had an extra 53-man spot after placing Lewis Cine on injured reserve. Ross Blacklock and James Lynch have barely played in the Vikings interior rotation and Tonga might be here to push them for a job.
