FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots and starting right guard Shaq Mason have agreed to a five-year contract extension worth up to $50 million, a league source confirms.
Mason, a 2014 fourth-round draft choice out of Georgia Tech, will receive $23.5 million in bonuses and guarantees as part of the deal. That total includes the $1.9 million base salary he was scheduled to earn in 2018.
Of the $50 million pact, a total of $5 million is tied to incentives and honors.
While head coach Bill Belichick didn't confirm the extension on Monday, he acknowledged that Mason has improved each season.
