Patriots Re-Sign Dont’a Hightower
According to Albert Breer of The Monday Morning Quarterback, Hightower's new deal is a four-year pact that is worth $43.5 million with a hefty guarantee.
Though the signing was delayed about a week into the free agency period, reports had been circulating for a couple of days that the opposing clubs believed he would, in fact, re-sign with the Pats.
Over five seasons in New England, the Alabama alum has totaled 372 tackles and 17 sacks. Though he misses a few games each season, due to injuries, he has become a key cog in the team's defensive front and has made stellar plays in each of the team's two Super Bowl victories, since his arrival.
