The New England Patriots drafted running back TreyVeyon Henderson in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The goal is for Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson to be the Patriots' backfield duo this season.
However, Henderson is one of the Patriots' draft picks who has yet to sign his rookie contract, and the issue seems to be the amount of guaranteed money involved.
Over the last few years, the amount of guaranteed money in players' contracts has grown and has been a vital negotiating factor due to the risk of injuries.
