The 31-year-old outside linebacker has played nine years in the NFL for New England, Detroit, and Miami. In that time, he has collected three interceptions, 10 pass deflections, two forced fumbles, and 28.5 sacks.

Per Field Yates, the Patriots are releasing their starting outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy. Moving on from Van Noy will create just under $5 Million in cap space.

Fantasy Impact

The Patriots will now turn to young linebacker Ja'Whaun Bently to be the future of their linebacker core. Van Noy will most likely sign with a contender as he was still productive last season at the age of 30. The veteran linebacker recorded 66 total tackles, one interception, one touchdown, two forced fumbles and five tackles for loss in 16 games last season.

New England Patriots OLB Kyle Van Noy (hip) was placed on the team's active physically unable to perform (PUP) list on Tuesday, per Field Yates.

Fantasy Impact

Van Noy returns to New England from Miami in 2021, signing a two-year, $12 million deal during free agency to rejoin Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. Van Noy's placement on the active PUP list suggests that he received the active designation, meaning he is able to be removed from the PUP list at any time, which will allow him to begin practicing. Van Noy recorded 69 tackles, 10 TFLs, six sacks, six pass deflections, and forced two fumbles for the Dolphins in 2020 while battling through a hip injury. His return to New England instantly strengthens their front-seven, as his familiarity within Belichick's system reduces the typical learning curve players tend to experience when adapting to a new team.

Linebacker Kyle Van Noy and the New England Patriots agreed to terms on a contract on Wednesday, according to multiple reports. Per Mike Garafolo, it's a two-year deal worth up to $13.2 million.

Fantasy Impact
