Patriots making 'major push' to sign Pro Bowler Matt Judon?
After missing the playoffs for the first time since 2008, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots are not messing around this offseason. The franchise agreed to deals with tight end Jonnu Smith and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux on Monday, and it appears the Patriots aren't done yet.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, New England is making a "major push" to sign Baltimore Ravens pass-rusher Matt Judon.
Judon played the 2020 season for the Ravens on the franchise tag, and the team opted not to use a second one to guarantee his return in 2021.
The two-time Pro Bowler has spent his entire five-year career with the Ravens. In 14 games last season, he recorded six sacks, 50 tackles and 21 quarterback hits.
He would join a pass rush that includes Dont'a Hightower, Chase Winovich, Josh Uche and Ja'Whaun Bentley if New England can land him.
