Patriots give Rhamondre Stevenson $36 million contract extension
NY Post
One of the NFL’s best young running backs is staying in New England.
On Thursday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the New England Patriots had given Rhamondre Stevenson a four-year, $36 million deal with $17 million guaranteed.
In making $9 million per season, Stevenson becomes the seventh-highest running back by average annual salary, moving ahead of the Bears’ D’Andre Swift.
The 26-year-old Stevenson burst onto the scene in 2022 with 1,040 rushing yards on five yards per carry.
The former fourth-round pick was also exceptional at extending runs.
According to Pro Football Focus, Stevenson’s 3.81 yards after contact per attempt ranked first among running backs with 100 or more carries that season.
