(FOXBORO, Ma.) — The New England Patriots are keeping the lynchpin of their secondary at home in Gillette Stadium.
Devin McCourty has agreed to a five-year, $47.5 million dollar contract with the Super Bowl champions, with $28.5 million guaranteed, according to multiple NFL sources.
“To me, it was just hitting certain numbers I wanted. I felt like myself, my agents and the Patriots worked together. We got it done,” McCourty told the Boston Herald. “I think it was no secret. I told everyone I wanted to be back. It was a business, and I felt the business side got done.”
McCourty, 28, has had eight interceptions and five forced fumbles over the past three seasons.
With one key member of the Patriots secondary secured, the attention shifts to Darrelle Revis, who the New England can exercise a $20 million dollar roster option on until Monday. If the team declines the option, Revis will become a free agent.
