The New England Patriots have secured running back Rhamondre Stevenson for the next four years with a contract extension worth $36 million. This deal, which includes $17 million in guaranteed money, solidifies Stevenson’s position as a key player in the team’s offense.
Stevenson, who was the Patriots’ leading rusher in the previous season with 1,040 yards and five touchdowns, has shown his versatility as a runner and receiver. Despite missing games due to injury, Stevenson has proven himself as a valuable asset to the team.
With the new contract in place, Stevenson can now focus on his role as the team’s feature back. Although the Patriots have added free agent Antonio Gibson to the mix, head coach Jerod Mayo has expressed confidence in Stevenson’s ability to lead the rushing attack.
Looking ahead, Stevenson has the opportunity to make a mark in Patriots’ history by potentially becoming the team’s all-time leading rusher. With just over 3,000 yards to surpass the current record holder, Stevenson’s consistent performance over the next four seasons could see him achieve this milestone.
As the Patriots gear up for the upcoming season with Jacoby Brissett as quarterback, the running game is expected to play a crucial role in the team’s offensive strategy. This presents Stevenson with a prime opportunity to showcase his skills and climb the franchise rushing yards list.
Overall, the contract extension signifies the Patriots’ commitment to Stevenson as a key player in their future success. With his talent and potential, Stevenson is poised to make a lasting impact on the team and etch his name in Patriots’ history books.
