Sources close to Eric Alexander, who is currently out of the country, have indicated that the linebacker and team have agreed in principle to a one-year contract, with bonuses.
Alexander, a member of the Patriots the past four seasons, was a restricted free agent. He played in just the season opener last year before ultimately being placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
The Pats could have offered a low tender, at $1.01 million, or not tendered him, making Alexander an unrestricted free agent. Instead, the two sides have agreed on a new one-year deal that is lower than the tender.
