The New England Patriots signed kicker Nick Folk to a two-year $5 million extension on Tuesday, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The deal includes $$2.19 million guaranteed and can max out at $6 million with incentives.
Folk made 36 of 39 field goals for the Patriots in 2021. He has converted 76-of-84 field goals in three seasons with New England. The Patriots first signed Folk in October 2019.
New England has been busy over the past couple of days. In addition to re-signing Folk, they have also re-signed Brian Hoyer, Devin McCourty, Matthew Slater and James Ferentz and acquired linebacker Mack Wilson via a trade with the Browns.

As New England continues to tinker with their roster, bringing Folk back adds stability to special teams.
