The Patriots are gearing up to welcome new rookies to their team soon. However, they’re also busy with other matters.
According to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, they’re currently in talks to extend the contract of defensive tackle Christian Barmore.
Barmore, who was drafted in the second round in 2021, is entering the final year of his rookie contract.
Although he hasn’t started many games in the past three seasons, he has been a significant presence on the field, playing over half of the team’s defensive snaps in two of those years.
Last season, he played even more, participating in two-thirds of the snaps. Barmore’s stats include 133 tackles, 12.5 sacks, 32 quarterback hits, and a forced fumble across 44 games.
