‘They didn’t have to budge’: Matthew Judon shares appreciation for Patriots following contract restructure

Matthew Judon is feeling happy as he’s back to being a full participant at Patriots practice after his contract for the 2023 season was reworked on Friday.

The Pro Bowl edge rusher reportedly agreed to a deal that bumped his guaranteed money for the upcoming season from $2 million to $14 million as he could possibly earn $4 million more in incentives.

Judon expressed gratitude toward the Patriots when he spoke to reporters on Sunday, the first time he’s done so since he amended his contract.

“I think it represents that they want to keep me around here or keep me happy or just they’re representing they see what I did and they appreciate it for the organization,” Judon said.
