It&#8217;s more important to ensure he takes the right path to grow into the player everyone hopes he&#8217;ll become, regardless of how long it takes for him to get there.\u00a0 Even if he looks a little robotic, the hope is that these efforts will allow him to move away from some of the habits that plagued him in college.<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Jerod Mayo will speak to reporters later this morning, with Mayo meeting with the media again following <a

Sunday that after locking up some key members of its roster, New England <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/40171471\/jerod-mayo-decision-nfl-offseason-qb-drake-maye-start-patriots\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>may potentially be wise to do the same<\/strong><\/a> with Matthew Judon.<\/p>\n<p>Judon is heading into the final year of his contract, which is worth a reported $6.5 million.\u00a0 That&#8217;s well below the mark for a player of his caliber, which is why Reiss believes that should be up next for the Patriots ahead of the season.<\/p>\n<p>The club <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2023\/08\/06\/patriots-news-8-6-judon-gets-a-raise-the-offense-comes-alive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>adjusted his contract last August<\/strong><\/a>, moving up his salary to increase his guaranteed earnings from $2 million to $14 million for 2023.\u00a0 That saw his base value go to $15 million, with another $3 million in incentives.\u00a0 The team didn&#8217;t add any additional years, with the goal clearly to simply take care of one of its key defensive players heading into the season.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, things didn&#8217;t end up going quite to plan.\u00a0 Judon, instead, is coming off a tough year, having missed most of last season with an elbow injury he suffered in Week 4 against Dallas.\u00a0 That saw the veteran <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/new-england-patriots\/injuries\/2023\/\"><strong>spend two weeks on the injury report as a non-participant<\/strong><\/a>, before the club eventually put him on injured reserve.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, Judon appears to be healthy, with the 32-year-old hopefully ready to pick up where he left off last season.\u00a0 He finished with 13 tackles along with 4 sacks, 9 quarterback hits, 5 tackles for a loss, and a safety, with all four sacks and that safety coming on third down.<\/p>\n<p>Those stats are remarkable given how few games he appeared in.\u00a0 As a result, if he&#8217;s able to repeat that production, getting the 32-year-old under contract for a couple of additional seasons would seem like a smart move.\u00a0 Especially for a team that is working toward getting on a fast-track back into postseason contention.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Odds and Ends<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Longtime local freelance Boston Sports writer Bill Speros did <a href=\"https:\/\/bookies.com\/nfl\/picks\/afc-nfc-nfl-2024-travel-distance-schedule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>a nice breakdown of the miles each club will have to travel this season<\/strong><\/a>, and the Patriots will certainly be racking them up in 2024.\u00a0 Speros notes that New England will travel the fourth-most miles this season, having to travel 25,071 through 26 time zones.\u00a0 The Los Angeles Chargers (26,803 &#8211; 36 time zones) top this list, with the AFC West club having to travel the most this season for a team that will not leave the United States.\u00a0 They&#8217;re then followed by Miami (25,869 &#8211; 16 time zones), and Seattle (25,797 &#8211; 28 time zones).\u00a0 The Commanders (10,550 &#8211; 18 time zones), Cincinnati Bengals (10,611 &#8211; 12 time zones), and Indianapolis Colts (11,497 &#8211; 12 time zones) were at the bottom. &#8230; Whether most of us like it or not, the Jets will be front and center for a good portion of this season.\u00a0 Ben Volin of the Boston Globe points out that Aaron Rodgers and company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2024\/05\/18\/sports\/nfl-schedule-release-2024\/?p1=Article_Feed_ContentQuery&amp;p1=Article_Feed_ContentQuery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>are set for six prime-time games in the first 11 weeks<\/strong><\/a>, with the Patriots among those clubs on Thursday Night Football in Week 3.\u00a0 Rodgers debut with the Jets ended before it ever got started in 2023, with the veteran suffering a season-ending Achilles injury on just his fourth snap of the game. &#8230; The Patriots have a tough decision to make with JuJu Smith-Schuster, who will be out there this week with what&#8217;s considered to be a pretty deep group at receiver.\u00a0 Andrew Callahan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonherald.com\/2024\/05\/19\/nfl-notes-the-6-patriots-under-most-pressure-heading-into-otas-and-minicamp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>pointed out in his Sunday notes<\/strong><\/a> that Smith-Schuster will cost $9.6 million in dead money if he&#8217;s released in the coming months, or the club could free up $7 million in cap room and incur just a $2.6 million hit if they can trade him.\u00a0 The latter certainly feels unlikely, which will probably mean the team may just have to take the hit and move on given where they sit.\u00a0 They do have enough room to afford parting ways with him, as <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/patscap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Patriots cap expert Miguel Benzan<\/strong> <\/a>has the club currently sitting at over $50 million in available cap space. &#8230; Kicker remains a key question mark, with Chad Ryland now facing pressure from newcomer, Joey Slye.\u00a0 Slye heads into this week coming off an emotional weekend as he learned he&#8217;s going to be a father <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LosTalksPats\/status\/1792247090564972771\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>in a video on Instagram<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 It was really cool to watch, adding a nice little side story for a guy who could be in contention to hopefully stabilize what was a shaky position at kicker last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New England Patriots will be front and center today, with the club set to hold its first of three voluntary organized team activities,
