Stevenson finished with 857 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns in 2023.
On Thursday, news broke that the organization had signed standout running back Rhamondre Stevenson to a four-year extension worth $36 million, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rapoport also noted the deal includes $17 million guaranteed, an $8 million signing bonus, and $12 million in incentives.are giving RB Rhamondre Stevenson an $8M signing bonus, plus there are a total of $12M available in incentives based on reaching at least $1,400 yards and becoming a Pro Bowler or All-Pro.
While Stevenson was part of the Patriots' worst season in many years in 2023 , this was the best move for New England. The organization has anointed Drake Maye, the, as the heir apparent to the quarterback throne. One of the tried-and-true ways to help young quarterbacks succeed is to surround them with as much talent as possible offensively for as long as possible.
The Patriots are doing just that by inking Stevenson to a long-term agreement as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. His dual-threat capabilities will help keep the offense unpredictable, and he can be a workhorse out of the backfield as evidenced by his 279 touches in 2022. Stevenson isn't quite a home run hitter but he's a versatile back who will be put to good use in offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt's offense.
Now the running back will be happy and healthy entering the 2024 season, ready to take the load off Maye or veteran journeyman Jacoby Brissett.Liam McKeone is a Senior Writer for the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
