The New England Patriots have retained tight end Austin Hooper with a one-year contract, valued at $5 million with potential increases to $7 million. Hooper played a significant role in the team's offense last season, recording 45 catches for 476 yards and three touchdowns. His performance marked his best since his 2019 Pro Bowl year. Hooper returns to a familiar environment, reuniting with coaches Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels, which could enhance his impact as a veteran target for quarterback Drake Maye during his developmental year.
Hooper's re-signing is crucial for New England, providing them with a reliable passing target as they navigate the NFL's free agency.
Hooper's familiarity with coaching staff and his performance last season position him as a pivotal player for the Patriots.
