It seems like with each passing day, the New England Patriots are announcing some sort of extension to one of their players. However, even with the newly installed front office handing out extensions like they are Halloween candy, Matt Judon has been on the outside looking at the various paydays. And that — along with some recent social media activity — has now invited questions regarding his future in Foxborough.
The star pass rusher is entering the final year of the four-year, $56 million contract he signed with the club in 2021. Judon skipped on out some of the voluntary portions of New England’s offseason program but was present for mandatory minicamp. The two sides did go through a similar saga last offseason and the two sides ultimately were able to adjust his contract to siphon money from 2024 into 2023. This time around, borrowing from future years is not an option, so it would seem like an extension would be necessary for these two sides to coexist in 2024. But is that going to happen?
On Wednesday, Judon has some interesting social media activity that could suggest that his time with the Patriots is nearing its end. An X user tagged Judon in a post imploring New England to “pay the man what he wants.” Judon then responded to the post and cast even more doubt of that wishful outcome saying, “Ion think that’s about to happen.”
Not long after that exchange, Judon posted a GIF that folks have surmised he’s suggesting he’s about to leave the Patriots.
Given that the Patriots are not expected to be competitive in this coming year and Judon, who is coming off a season-ending biceps injury, is set to enter his age-32 season, he may not fit the timeline for this team to logically hand him an extension. So, could a trade be on the horizon if the Patriots do opt against giving him an extension? If so, here are a trio of logical landing spots for the stud pass…
