Linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley remains a bargain for Patriots even after contract extension

The New England Patriots are using their summer break to get some contract work done. After signing wide receiver DeVante Parker to what is effectively a two-year, $10.8 million extension, they also locked up linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley for an additional two seasons.

The 26-year-old put his signature under a two-year extension at a value of $13.4 million last month. A look at the details of said contract shows that the Patriots can feel very good about it from a value perspective.
