Matthew Slater Fantasy

The New England Patriots and wide receiver Matthew Slater agreed to a two-year contract extension on Friday night, according to sources. The deal is similar to his last contract with the Patriots, which averaged $2.6 million per season. The long-time team captain and special teams standout is one of the club's most respected players and is arguably the top special teams player in the NFL. The 34-year-old veteran is extremely valuable to New England in real life, but he has zero fantasy value, catching just one pass for 46 yards for the Patriots since 2008.

The New England Patriots re-signed wide receiver Matthew Slater to a two-year deal on Tuesday, according to a source. Slater is a special teams ace and doesn't have a single catch since 2011. He can be ignored in all fantasy leagues.

Free agent special teams ace Matthew Slater visited with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. Slater has spent his entire 10-year career with the New England Patriots, making the Pro Bowl as a special teamer seven times. The free agent 32-year-old has been a long-time captain and locker room leader for the Patriots, meaning his loss would hit New England on the field as well as off of it. The Steelers would certainly relish the opportunity to weaken a Patriots team that has already lost left tackle Nate Solder, wide receiver Danny Amendola, running back Dion Lewis, and cornerback Malcolm Butler this offseason.
