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.
