BREAKING NEWS: Matthew Judon Eyes Contract Extension with Patriots

Four-Time Pro Bowler Expresses Dissatisfaction with Current Deal

Judon Looking to Cash In Amidst Team's Success

Matthew Judon, the New England Patriots' star linebacker, has made it clear that he wants a new contract. Judon, who is entering the final year of his four-year, $54.5 million deal, is slated to earn $75 million in 2023. However, he believes that he is worth more.

"I'm not happy with my current contract," Judon said Wednesday. "I think I'm one of the best players on this team, and I deserve to be paid like one."

Judon has been one of the Patriots' most consistent performers since joining the team in 2021. He has led the team in sacks in each of the past two seasons, and has helped the Patriots to two AFC East titles and one Super Bowl appearance.

The Patriots are reportedly interested in extending Judon's contract, but it is unclear if they are willing to meet his demands. The team has a number of other players who are also due for new deals, including quarterback Mac Jones and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers.

If the Patriots do not agree to a new contract with Judon, he could become a free agent in 2024. The 28-year-old would likely be one of the most sought-after defenders on the market, and he could command a lucrative deal.
