The New England Patriots have retained another member of their free agency class. Tight end Hunter Henry, who was set to hit the open market next Wednesday, will return to the Patriots on a new three-year, $27 million contract.
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport were first to report the extension and the base value. Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald later reported the length of the deal.
Henry, 29, entered the NFL as a second-round draft pick by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2016. He joined the Patriots on a three-year, $37.
