New England Patriots re-sign hidden gem defensive lineman with wild NFL journey

From Friends University to the USFL to the NFL, defensive lineman Jeremiah Pharms Jr.‘s unlikely story will continue in New England.

As noted by his agency, the Patriots have re-signed Pharms to a two-year contract extension. According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, Pharms' deal includes $250,000 in guaranteed money.

Pharms was set to be an exclusive-rights free agent this offseason, which meant he was locked in to a cheap one-year deal if the Patriots wanted to bring him back. But instead of offering the minimum tender, New England signed Pharms to a multi-year deal that included more money.
