The New England Patriots are reportedly keeping their special teams captain.
According to Field Yates of ESPN, the Patriots agreed to a two-year contract extension with Matthew Slater. Yates, who called Slater "one of the team's most respected players" and "arguably" the best special teams player in the NFL, noted the contract is similar to the last one he signed with the Patriots.
That contract was for two seasons and $2.6 million a year.
