New England Patriots reportedly agreed on a contract extension with linebacker Raekwon McMillan to a new deal, per the Boston Globe’s Jim McBride.
McMillan recorded 35 combined tackles and a sack last season. He was initially signed by the Patriots back in March 2021 as an unrestricted free agent. He had an injured first season in New England as he suffered a torn ACL during training camp.
The 2022 season was a better one for him, as he played in 16 games and 250 overall snaps. He also played 277 special teams snaps. The highlight of his year last year was a fumble return for a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14.

McMillan will be looking to make additional progress next season, as the Patriots continue to solidify their linebacker room.
In the meantime, the organization has had a busy last few days of the offseason, including legendary safety Devin McCourty retiring and punter Jake Bailey being released.
