NFL: Patriots keep Hunter Henry on a new two-year deal

A key piece locked in

New England made it official on Monday. Hunter Henry is not going anywhere. The veteran tight end has agreed to an extension with the Patriots, and the club kept the numbers to itself.

ESPN filled in the blanks: two years, roughly $16 million. One of the steadier hands in the offense gets a fresh contract with the season bearing down.

Experience the Patriots did not want to lose

Dependable barely covers it. Henry catches what he is supposed to catch and blocks when he is asked to, and New England is leaning hard on that reliability while its offensive line finds its feet. Weeks out from the opener, that kind of certainty is worth paying for.

There is a message buried in the deal, too. Rather than watch its core drift off, the front office dug in and kept it. Smart timing, with proven bodies vanishing off the market almost as fast as they hit it.
