The New England Patriots officially waived LB Raekwon McMillan on Friday to make room for DE Yannick Ngakoue, who was claimed off waivers from the Ravens.
McMillan, 27, is a former second-round pick of the Dolphins back in 2017. He was traded to the Raiders in 2020 as part of a pick swap.
McMillan played out the final year of his four-year contract worth $4,697,532, which included a signing bonus of $1,556,388 and made a base salary of $1.10 million for the 2020 season.
McMillan then signed a one-year deal with the Patriots in 2021 and followed that up with a one-year extension in September despite tearing his ACL. He returned on another one-year deal for the 2023 season before signing a one-year extension last year.
In 2024, Raekwon McMillan has appeared in nine games for the Patriots and made four starts, recording 45 tackles and a pass defense.
