FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots and run-stuffing defensive tackle Davon Godchaux have agreed to a two-year extension worth up to $21 million that includes $16.5 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.

Godchaux, 29, was entering the final year of his contract. He had been scheduled to earn a base salary of $7.15 million, with the chance to earn an additional $1 million in per-game roster bonuses, and previously said he was looking for more respect.

"I've been consistent playing the run throughout my eight years in the league, and I feel like I'm still in my prime," he said last week at training camp.
