The Judon circumstance had actually been hovering over the Patriots for much of training school.
The 31-year-old has simply one season staying on his agreement that is set to pay him $6.5 million in base pay. ESPN's Mike Reiss and Jeremy Fowler kept in mind Judon denied an agreement deal from New England this offseason and stated on a podcast he drew up a proposition to the AFC East group and was yet to hear anything in return.
Judon likewise turned heads on July 29 when he reached the group's very first full-pads practice of training school without pads and after that participated in animated discussions with head coach Jerod Mayo, executive vice president of gamer workers Eliot Wolf and director of gamer workers Matt Groh.
He missed out on the following day's practice too, although Reiss mentioned “things have actually given that silenced down.”
New England now no longer needs to fret about what it will finish with Judon and got a draft choice in return.
