Patriots Reach Contract Extension With Woodhead
It looks like Danny Woodhead has something to be thankful for today on this Thanksgiving.
Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald reported Thursday that the Patriots and Woodhead have reached a deal on an extension to keep him in New England through 2012.
According to the report Woodhead received $425,000 as a signing bonus to go with his $395,000 in 2010 salary. He’s also reportedly slated to earn $550,000 in 2011 and $700,000 in 2012, along with playing time incentives worth a possible $575,000 next year and a possible $600,000 in 2012.
Woodhead played well on Thursday against the Lions, rushing for 32 yards on 8 carries (4.0 avg) during their 45-24 win over Detroit.
