All eyes are on Matthew Judon entering the final year of his contract in 2024.
When compared to the going rate for disruptive defensive stalwarts in the NFL, the veteran pass-rusher is relatively underpaid in 2024 — accounting for a base salary of $6.5 million this year.
But after not taking part in mandatory workouts last season (but still showing up on the field to avoid any fines) as part of a plan to rework his guaranteed salary in 2023, Judon was an active participant during New England’s mandatory minicamp practice on Monday.
Even though his “hold-in” last summer helped him secure a large payout in 2023, Judon stressed that he isn’t looking to follow a similar script this year — even with the uncertainty involving his contract.
