There’s been another big move in “pre-agency”. After the Tennessee Titans locked up Ryan Tannehill, the New England Patriots just re-signed a vital piece to their team. The quarterback of their defense, safety Devin McCourty and the team have agreed to terms on a new deal for the veteran playmaker.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the contract is for two years, $23 million with $17 million guaranteed:
The #Patriots are giving safety and team leader Devin McCourty a 2-year deal worth $23M, sources say. He gets $17M guaranteed – keeping him in New England for his career and allowing him to play with his brother again.

However, the true news breaker was none other than McCourty himself. He took to YouTube to film a special edition of Double Coverage—a show that features himself and his twin brother Jason—to share the news that the he would remain in New England.

The team had already announced they would be bringing back Jason McCourty and now the two will spend their third season playing together—the first of which resulted in a Super Bowl victory.
Early indications seem to suggest that Bill Belichick is more interested in keeping the team together as opposed to venturing into an on-the-fly rebuild or makeover for the franchise.
