The New England Patriots have reached a deal with special teams ace Matthew Slater to return for his 15th season with the team, a source told ESPN's Field Yates.
The deal is for one year with $2.62 million fully guaranteed.
Slater's 10 Pro Bowl berths are the most in NFL history for a special teamer, besting former Buffalo Bills great Steve Tasker (seven).
A captain in each of the last 11 seasons, Slater, who turns 37 in September, has spent his entire career with the Patriots -- who selected him in the fifth round of the 2008 draft -- and is on record as saying it's the only franchise he'd play for.
