The Patriots and fullback James Develin have agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $3.8 million, according to multiple reports.
Jeff Howe of the Athletic was first to report that a deal was close and Field Yates of ESPN was first with the terms of the deal.
Devlin, who turns 30 in July, is in the final season of a two-year, $2.45 million deal, made the Pro Bowl last season. The former defensive end at Brown, who has been with the Pats since 2012, has consistently earned high praise from Bill Belichick and Tom Brady.
