Patriots Extend S Patrick Chung For Two More Years

According to Field Yates, the Patriots and S Patrick Chung have agreed to a two-year extension through the 2023 season. 

Chung will receive a $3 million signing bonus and is now due $12.8 million over the duration of his contract. 

This is the second straight offseason New England has extended Chung’s contract. The veteran safety added a year onto the two remaining on his contract last summer. 

Chung was also indicted last summer on charges of cocaine possession but had the charges dropped earlier this year. 

Chung, 32, is a former second-round pick of the Patriots back in 2009. He spent four years in New England before departing for a three-year deal with the Eagles in 2014.

Chung lasted just a year in Philadelphia before being released and later re-signed by the Patriots. He’s signed multiple extensions with New England.

Chung stands to make base salaries of $2.9 million and $1.9 million over the next two years. 

In 2019, Chung appeared in 13 games for the Patriots and recorded 51 tackles, no sacks or interceptions and three pass defenses.
