The New England Patriots will not open their mandatory minicamp until tomorrow, but that does not mean they won’t work today. The front office, for example, appears to already be active: as first reported by ESPN’s Field Yates, the Patriots and third-round draft pick Chase Winovich have agreed to terms on a four-year contract. The deal will reportedly be worth a total of $3,827,312 and include a fully-guaranteed signing bonus of $997,312.
New England picked Winovich 77th overall in late April to bolster a defensive line that saw the departures of both Trey Flowers and Adrian Clayborn this offseason.
