Bentley signed a two-year extension with the Patriots on Thursday worth $18.75 million with $9 million guaranteed, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Bentley was entering the final year of a two-year deal signed last March. The 26-year-old led New England with 125 tackles (62 solo) last season and should remain an integral part of the team's defense beyond just the 2023 campaign.
