Despite signing several players to lucrative contracts this offseason — almost all of them internal options — the New England Patriots have remained financially potent even with free agency starting to wind down. On Thursday, they increased their league-leading salary cap space even further.
According to a report by Field Yates of ESPN, the Patriots and Calvin Anderson agreed to restructure the offensive tackle’s contract. While the exact nature of the negotiation is not yet known, it will save the team $990,000 against its cap.
Anderson re-joined New England — he briefly was with the team as a rookie free agent in 2019 — last offseason as part of the team’s efforts to improve its right tackle position.
