The New England Patriots had reached four contract adjustments with Patrick Chung since the safety returned from his 2013 stint with the Philadelphia Eagles.
A fifth arrived Wednesday.
Chung and the Patriots have agreed to a two-year extension that runs through the 2023 season, sources told Field Yates of ESPN. The Oregon Ducks product will receive a reported signing bonus of $3 million as part of the pact, and can earn up to $12.8 million over the next four years.
But the short-term plan is in focus.
New England now carries the financial flexibility to get fellow safety Kyle Dugger, selected No.
