New Shaq Mason contract provides a baseline for a possible Michael Onwenu extension with the Patriots

Former New England Patriots guard Shaq Mason will sign a new contract soon. The 29-year-old, who left the Patriots in 2022 and was traded from Tampa to the Houston Texans earlier this offseason, is finalizing a three-year, $36 million contract extension.

The deal will include $22 million in total guarantees, including a $10 million signing bonus. While the full details will paint a clearer picture, the numbers initially reported by KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson would make Mason the fifth-highest-paid right guard in the NFL on the basis of his $12 million per-year average.
