The New England Patriots sign tight end Hunter Henry to a two-year contract extension, according to multiple reports. The deal is reported to be worth $16 million and keeps Henry under contract beyond the current term, with at least one outlet stating the extension runs through the 2028 season.
Reports describe Henry, 31, as staying with the team for additional seasons after spending the last several years in New England. One outlet also frames the signing as giving the Patriots roster flexibility while they develop rookie tight end Eli Raridon, a third-round pick.
While outlets agree on the extension’s length and the reported total value, they vary in the specific details they emphasize—some focus on the contract duration, others on the reported $16 million figure, and at least one highlights the potential impact on the team’s tight-end depth and development plan. The overarching account across sources is that Henry remains the Patriots’ top tight end under a renewed two-year agreement.
