Christian Barmore, Patriots Agree On Four-Year Extension
Standout defensive tackle Christian Barmore and the New England Patriots reached an agreement on a four-year contract extension with a maximum value of $92 million on Monday. The deal was negotiated and confirmed by agent Nicole Lynn of Klutch Sports. The deal contains $41.8 million in guarantees in the largest deal that the Patriots have given out since Tom Brady. The 24-year-old former second-rounder in 2021 out of Alabama earned the big extension by recording 133 tackles (74 solo), 12.5 sacks, 18 tackles for loss, 32 QB hits, nine passes defended and one forced fumble in 44 games (11 starts) in his first three years in the NFL. He had a career-high 8.5 sacks in 17 games (six starts) last year and will stick around in New England as a key piece on the interior of their defensive line for years to come.
New England Patriots defensive lineman Christian Barmore (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. The 23-year-old has amassed 15 tackles and one sack through parts of six games this season. A 2021 second-round pick, Barmore has played a key role as a member of the Patriots' defensive front. In his absence, Carl Davis should see more snaps alongside Davon Godchaux.
