Matthew Judon got his payday.
The New England Patriots linebacker has been a limited participant in training camp while looking for a contract adjustment, and he reportedly got his wish on Friday. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the new contract will raise Judon's original $2 million guaranteed for 2023 up to $14 million guaranteed. The deal will allow the four-time Pro Bowler to make up to $18 million this year with incentives.
No new years were added to Judon's contract, so it is not an extension.
