New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry confirmed he signed a two-year extension, keeping him with the team through the 2027 season. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Henry confirmed on Monday that he will remain with the Patriots through the 2027 season. According to ESPN and NFL Network, the deal has a base value of $16 million with incentives that could push it up to $20 million.
This ends a period of limbo for Henry, who was about to enter the final season of the previous three-year extension he signed in 2024.
"It means a lot," Henry said. "The Kraft family has taken me in. They've been so good to me and my family, giving me a chance kind of in the middle of my career and we've just appreciated it kind of the whole time."
Signed as a free agent in 2021 following his four-year run with the Los Angeles Chargers, Henry has seen both ends of the success spectrum during his run with the Patriots.
In his first season in New England, Henry was part of former coach Bill Belichick's final playoff appearance with the team, which ended with a quick wild-card round exit.
He then endured a three-year postseason drought that included back-to-back 4-13 finishes. Last season, Henry was a big part of the reason Maye finished second in MVP voting during New England's run to the Super Bowl under new coach Mike Vrabel.
Henry led the team with seven receiving touchdowns in 2025 and his 60 catches and 768 yards were second only to Stefon Diggs.
