Before the second week of Patriots training camp commenced Monday morning, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported punter Jake Bailey agreed to a four-year, $13.5 million ($6.5 guaranteed) contract extension through 2025. The deal makes Bailey one of the NFL’s three highest-paid punters.
Following Monday’s practice, Bailey shared his reaction during a media availability session.
“I’m just so happy and blessed I get a few more years here,” Bailey said. “I was just kind of on the phone with my agent and I was like, ‘Alright, that’s it. We’re good with that,’ and it wasn’t like a crazy big moment.
