The standoff between Matthew Judon and the Patriots is getting uglier by the day.
The tension between New England and the star pass-rusher, who wants a new contract, reached a new level Monday when Judon had a public dispute with first-year head coach Jerod Mayo at training camp. The four-time Pro Bowl selection responded by not showing up to Gillette Stadium on Tuesday at all.
The practice absence prompted the Patriots to extend a contract offer to the 31-year-old, per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini. But according to Judon himself, such an olive branch was not extended.
