FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Safety Devin McCourty is returning to the New England Patriots for his 13th season, and he announced the news in a unique way.
The deal is for one year and will pay McCourty $9 million, a source told ESPN.
McCourty's prior contract had void years and was set to expire Wednesday, but with the one-year deal now being added to it his cap charge will be lower than $9 million in 2022. That's important for the Patriots, who entered Sunday with about $10 million in cap space.
As for how McCourty announced the news, he had his children share it on his Twitter account in a video.
