Judon and the Patriots are far apart in contract negotiations, Henry McKenna of FOX Sports reports. McKenna notes that Judon has asked for a new contract and the Patriots have presented an offer, but the sides "are not currently close to agreeing to a new deal." Judon is approaching the final year of his contract, which will pay him a modest $6.5 million next season. New England may be hesitant to offer the linebacker a hefty deal given that he played in just four games last season due to a torn biceps, though he has more than proven his ability as a pass rusher with 28.0 combined sacks over 2021 and 2022. Per Conor Ryan of Boston.com, Judon doesn't plan to hold out of camp if the sides don't agree to a new deal.

Judon and the Patriots are far apart in contract negotiations, Henry McKenna of FOX Sports reports. McKenna notes that Judon has asked for a new contract and the Patriots have presented an offer, but the sides "are not currently close to agreeing to a new deal." Judon is approaching the final year of his contract, which will pay him a modest $6.5 million next season. New England may be hesitant to offer the linebacker a hefty deal given that he played in just four games last season due to a torn biceps, though he has more than proven his ability as a pass rusher with 28.0 combined sacks over 2021 and 2022. Per Conor Ryan of Boston.com, Judon doesn't plan to hold out of camp if the sides don't agree to a new deal.
Judon (biceps) was in attendance for the Patriots' mandatory minicamp Monday, Hayden Bird of the Boston Globe reports. Judon suffered a torn biceps tendon this past October, limiting him to four games last year, but he's since recovered from the injury to the point that he's in line to be a full participant in this week's minicamp, per Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston. During his last full campaign, the linebacker racked up 60 tackles and 15.5 sacks in 17 regular-season games in 2022. Now that he's back in action, Judon is set to remain a key pass-rushing presence in New England's defense, a role that lands the 31-year-old back on the IDP radar in 2024.
Judon (biceps) is back to full health and expected to be at the Patriots' manditory minicamp in June, Karen Guregian of masslive.com reports. Judon tore his biceps early in the 2023 season and subsequently underwent season ending surgery. It appears his recovery has gone well, and he will be ready to participate in New England's offseason preparation. Barring any setbacks with his health, he is expected to start at outside linebacker opposite Josh Uche this season.
