McMillan re-signed with the Patriots for the 2023 season back in March, but in May, he suffered a partially torn Achilles tendon at OTAs that landed him on injured reserve.

The Patriots’ willingness to agree on a deal with McMillan shows serious perceived value from coach Bill Belichick and the rest of the staff. McMillan contributed in 64 percent of the special teams snaps last year. This new deal with the Patriots will keep him on the roster through the 2024 season,

McMillan was signed to a one-year extension by the Patriots back in 2021 as well, after suffering a torn ACL in training camp. He overcame the injury and contributed greatly for New England the following season.

With this latest deal, the Patriots are clearly banking on history repeating itself.
