Patriots Reward Patrick Chung and Brandon Bolden with Contract Extensions
Published at
Jim Rogash/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — The New England Patriots are already looking ahead to the future as they have agreed on contract extensions with safety Patrick Chung and running back Brandon Bolden.
ESPN reports Chung’s deal is for three years and worth up to $8.2 million, with $3.4 million of that guaranteed.
Meanwhile Bolden signed a two-year deal worth $2.32 million
Chung spent the first four years of his career with the Patriots and was a solid defender for them as they made the playoffs on an annual basis. He played for the Philadelphia Ealges in 2013, but re-signed with the team in 2014 and recorded 85 tackles — the most he’s had in a season 2010.
The 24-year-old Bolden is in his third season with the Patriots. He had just 28 carries for 89 yards and a touchdown, but his true value comes on special teams. He’s considered one of the team’s best special teams players so his value does not also show up in the box score.
