Patriots Sign Second-Round Pick Gabe Jacas After Holdout Over Injury Guarantees

Patriots Sign Gabe Jacas

The New England Patriots officially signed second-round pick Gabe Jacas on Saturday, the opening day of training camp, ending a brief holdout that had made him the last unsigned second-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft class.

Jacas inked a four-year, $8.66 million deal -- the standard slot value for the 55th overall pick per OverTheCap. The sticking point was guaranteed money, with both sides going back and forth before reaching an agreement. The exact guaranteed figure has not been disclosed.
