Patriots Re-sign Linebacker Anfernee Jennings to Strengthen Defense

The deal, worth up to $24 million, is part of New England's strategy to retain key players and compete in the AFC East.

Anfernee Jennings has re-signed with the New England Patriots on a three-year deal worth up to $24 million, with incentives.
The linebacker's return is part of a broader effort to retain key players from last season's 4-13 team, including Josh Uche, Jalen Reagor, Kendrick Bourne, Hunter Henry, and Mike Onwenu.
Jennings' contract will count $4 million against the Patriots' salary cap, leaving the team with $37.6 million in total cap space.
The Patriots are focusing on building a strong defense under new head coach Jerod Mayo, following Bill Belichick's departure.
Despite struggles in recent seasons, the Patriots aim to compete in the competitive AFC East division.
