According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, Moses had surgery to help correct a knee injury he suffered in Week 3 of last season. Moses missed two games as a result of the injury, but played through it for much of the year. In March, it was reported that Moses “was given a clean bill of health” by the Jets shortly before the team allowed him to hit free agency. Moses signed a three-year, $24 million contract with the Patriots this offseason and said he’s “just pacing things out” when asked about his limited participation in OTAs thus far. For now, this seems like a non-issue as training camp nears, but it will be something worth monitoring if the 34-year-old continues to be limited late into the summer.

Per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the deal is worth up to $28.5 million. The Patriots fielded arguably the worst offensive line in the league last year, so it’s no surprise to see them spending big to improve that unit. Protecting Drake Maye has to be a priority for the rebuilding Pats this offseason. Even at 34 years old, Moses is a solid right tackle option for a team desperate to improve both bookends to their offensive line.

As Garafolo notes, Moses played through a Grade 2 MCL sprain last year. Moses missed some time early in the year because of the injury but ultimately pushed through it for much of the remainder of the season. Moses will officially be a free agent next week unless the Jets make a last-second move to keep him around. Even at 34 years old, the career right tackle should have some suitors on the open market.
