Conor McDermott found himself back in the New England Patriots’ plans last fall. He now finds himself on track to be back for future falls, too.
The veteran offensive tackle signed a two-year, $3.6 million contract extension with the organization that filled out his draft card, as detailed Wednesday by ESPN’s Field Yates.
The agreement, which was reached last weekend, includes a reported $750,000 in playing-time incentives for both the 2023 and 2024 campaigns. Those bring the backup-level base value to a maximum value of $5.1 million.
McDermott, 30, started the final six games of the regular season at right tackle after joining the active roster off the New York Jets’ practice squad.
