FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- When the New England Patriots signed wide receiver Kenny Britt to a two-year contract on Dec. 13, there didn't seem to be a major question on Britt's chances to stick around for the second year in 2018. The team just had to exercise a $150,000 option bonus to kick in the second year, and Britt has recently been informed of the team's intention to do so (first reported by NFL Network).
Outside of the $150,000, the Patriots have no other financial obligation to Britt, which made picking up the bonus a no-brainer.
