Shaq Mason currently is in the final year of his rookie deal with the New England Patriots, and yesterday the team made sure that it will not be his last one in Foxboro: Mason and the Patriots agreed to a five-year contract extension on Monday, worth up to $50.0 million with $23.5 million in guarantees. The new deal will now keep the former fourth-round draft pick in New England through the 2023 season.
Shortly after news of the contract broke, Mason spoke to the media and shared his feelings on it:
Thank God and the Kraft family for this opportunity, thanks to the coach for believing in me.
