You\u2019ve seen me with my helmet and jersey on. I\u2019m not mad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also criticized his own stance from a year ago, where the veteran was on hand but didn&#8217;t participate. That led to the club ultimately accelerating his salary and giving him a bump in pay ahead of last season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI ain\u2019t worried about holding out, sitting out \u2026 kind of protesting. \u2026 Because that, last year, that stuff was trash,&#8221; said Judon.\u00a0 &#8220;I ain\u2019t really like that. Like I\u2019m a football player, I don\u2019t want to get into the agency side. So I\u2019m gonna come out here and play some football.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not that remains the case remains to be seen. But the possibility of Judon not being out there for 2024, whether he sits out or if the club opts to possibly cut or move him ahead of the season, is now the key question.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 p-0 pb-0\" style=\"background-color: #313131; text-align: right; border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-50287\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/USATSI_22172527_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/USATSI_22172527_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/USATSI_22172527_168390408_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/USATSI_22172527_168390408_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/USATSI_22172527_168390408_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/USATSI_22172527_168390408_lowres-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/USATSI_22172527_168390408_lowres-660x440.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/USATSI_22172527_168390408_lowres-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 450px, (max-width: 768px) 660px, (max-width: 1024px) 800px, 1200px\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 mb-3 p-0 pb-3 pt-0 pr-3 pl-3\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10px; color: white;\">(PHOTO: Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports)<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3><strong>What Happened with Judon?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While Judon may have been saying the right things prior to this week, Greg Bedard said a couple of weeks ago that he believed all wasn&#8217;t necessarily well between the two sides.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that the extension with Christian Barmore has complicated the situations of both Judon and Davon Godchaux, and that it&#8217;s created some friction in the negotiations with those players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know Judon has said the right things, we talked about it on the last podcast, he went on Rich\u2019s [Shertenlieb] show and basically said he wasn\u2019t going to do what he did last year,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2024\/06\/18\/if-things-take-a-turn-with-judon-could-patriots-already-have-a-replacement-in-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>said Bedard<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 \u201cI have reason to believe that will not be true.\u00a0 But I will say that there are rumblings that there are a couple of big contract issues with the Patriots, and they stem from Christian Barmore\u2019s deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barmore&#8217;s four-year contract was agreed to at the end of April. At the time, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/40049891\/patriots-dt-christian-barmore-agree-4-year-extension-agent-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>the deal had a maximum value of $92 million<\/strong><\/a>, and Jeremy Fowler reported that Barmore&#8217;s deal would include $41.8 million in guaranteed money.<\/p>\n<p>That likely reset the benchmark that both veterans are now trying to measure against, with each likely trying to establish where their value falls in comparison.\u00a0 However, one player&#8217;s perception of value may not necessarily match how they&#8217;re viewed by the team, which is a situation Jerod Mayo alluded to last month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are guys that, obviously, they want to redo contracts and stuff like that. And not just DG, it\u2019s a bunch of guys that want to do those things,\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2024\/06\/12\/transcript-jerod-mayos-press-conference-6-12\/\"><strong> said Mayo<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cAnd we\u2019re working through it. Eliot [Wolfe] and his staff, they do a great job as far as handling that. I don\u2019t get into the player contracts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I will say is, one thing I\u2019ve learned is sometimes the value that the team has on a person is a little bit different than the value that the market has on a person. And so those are just things I\u2019m learning, guys. Like I told you guys before, I\u2019m green, but I\u2019m learning. I\u2019m evolving, and these are the conversations that have to be had.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So far, it doesn&#8217;t feel like either conversation is going quite as well as we would have hoped.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 p-0 pb-0\" style=\"background-color: #313131; text-align: right; border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54205\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21768164_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21768164_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21768164_168390408_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21768164_168390408_lowres-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21768164_168390408_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21768164_168390408_lowres-660x440.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21768164_168390408_lowres-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21768164_168390408_lowres.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 450px, (max-width: 768px) 660px, (max-width: 1024px) 800px, 1200px\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Keion White\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 mb-3 p-0 pb-3 pt-0 pr-3 pl-3\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10px; color: white;\">(PHOTO: Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports)<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3><strong>Who Will Replace Matthew Judon for the Patriots?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One positive takeaway from this spring has been the emergence of second-year player Keion White.\u00a0 He\u2019s someone who Mayo previously praised during the spring after White seemingly made some noise during both OTAs and minicamp.<\/p>\n<p>Bedard also said last month that he feels White may be the guy the Patriots are counting on to step into Judon&#8217;s shoes, especially if they do, in fact, move on from him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s almost immediately from the get-go in OTAs, seeing him out there, him standing up, the two-point stance, it\u2019s extremely exciting and his development, and again, it\u2019s not pads, but you could see the impact,\u201d said Bedard.\u00a0 \u201cAnd just his physicality, I just love the idea of him standing up.\u00a0 When he was drafted, I had a hard time wrapping my head around exactly where he was going to play because he was a tweener and he was basically like Deatrich Wise\u2019s sort of understudy and then he gained more and more playing time last year.\u00a0 But I think his athletic ability is his strength and standing him up and using him like that can make him really impactful and I\u2019m really excited to see what he can do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I also think the offshoot of that is, well, if Keion White\u2019s now an edge and they already have Anfernee Jennings and Josh Uche, and if Matthew Judon is going to have an issue with his contract, does that make Matthew Judon expendable?\u00a0 I think that\u2019s a very real possibility at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Judon had racked up four sacks, nine quarterback hits, and a safety in just four games last season before he suffered what turned out to be a season-ending elbow injury against Dallas in Week 4.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is at 31-years old, Judon&#8217;s playing for a team that may be multiple years away from returning to where he believed it was when he got here.\u00a0 As a result, the club may bite the bullet and explore moving him while trying to add draft capital as they continue looking toward the future.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unfortunate, especially for a player who has been fun to watch and has also both said and done the right things since he&#8217;s been here.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it&#8217;s a business, and the Patriots have some difficult decisions to make.\u00a0 But if Judon&#8217;s comments are any indication, it&#8217;s starting to feel like the Patriots might be closer making quite a big one in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heading into the Patriots mandatory minicamp last month, things appeared to be moving in a positive direction with Matthew Judon in terms of the club possibly extending him and keeping the veteran in the fold for the foreseeable future.
