Judon was entering the final season of a
four-year, $54.5 million contract that was to pay him $6.5
million in base salary, and he was seeking a new deal with New
England. He was spotted having an animated conversation with
Patriots first-year coach Jerod Mayo during a practice session
last month, one that Judon did not participate in.
Of the 14 training camp practices New England has had this
offseason, Judon had kept himself out of two.
A bicep tear limited Judon to just four games (two starts) last
season. He still managed to record four sacks along with 13
tackles.
The 31-year-old Judon has played eight NFL seasons with the
Baltimore Ravens (2016-20) and Patriots (2021-23), amassing 66.5
sacks, 369 tackles, nine forced fumbles and four fumble
recoveries in 114 games (82 starts).
Judon is a four-time Pro Bowl selection.
