Defensive back Jalen Mills has signed a four-year, $24 million contract with the Patriots, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Rosenhaus told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that Mills's deal includes $9 million guaranteed.
Mills spent the first five years of his career with the Eagles, who selected him in the seventh round of the 2016 NFL draft. He started his career at cornerback but switched to safety last season. The change worked out well considering he finished 2020 with 1 1/2 sacks, 74 tackles, four tackles-for-loss, five quarterback hits and one interception in 15 games.
