New England Patriots Extend Tight End Hunter Henry's Contract

The New England Patriots have confirmed that tight end Hunter Henry will continue with the team for the foreseeable future, having signed a two-year contract extension.

This decision follows the Patriots' efforts to enhance their roster around young quarterback Drake Maye, which included signing Romeo Doubs and trading for AJ Brown. Henry's new deal is reportedly worth $16 million, with the potential to reach $20 million, including $14.5 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $4.2 million.

During the 2025 season, Henry achieved a career-high 768 receiving yards and scored seven touchdowns, contributing significantly to Maye's success. Although Henry is approaching 32 years of age, his performance suggests he remains a valuable asset for the team. The Patriots' investment in Henry reflects their commitment to building a competitive team around Maye.
