The adaptable offensive lineman was given the opportunity to test the NFL open market for the first time in his career after the Patriots decided not to place any tag on Mike Onwenu.
Thankfully, though, New England was able to hold onto maybe its most valuable free agent in 2024.
According to reports, Onwenu has signed a three-year, $57 million contract to remain in Foxboro, Massachusetts. According to reports, the 2020 sixth-round pick’s new contract includes a $22.5 million signing bonus in addition to $38 million guaranteed. Onwenu revealed his return to New England via Instagram story on Monday night, even though the contract is not yet official.
Even though Jerod Mayo and company made the crucial decision to sustain Onwenu, there is still a lot of work to be done.
