Raiders signed Patriots LB Christian Elliss to an offer sheet.

Elliss was a restricted free agent this year and the Patriots assigned him the right of first refusal tender. That means they get to match the Raiders’ offer to keep Elliss in town but don’t receive any draft picks if they let him go. New England signed linebacker Jack Gibbens earlier today, possibly signaling their intent to let the Raiders have Elliss. The Pats have until Monday to decide.
