The Patriots have offered Bryant, a pending restricted free agent, a contract tender for the coming season, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Per Reiss, the defensive back's contract tender is reportedly for $2.6 million, which is at the right-of-first-refusal level. The move signifies that the Patriots hope to have Bryant reprise his role as the team's primary slot cornerback this coming season. In 17 games during the 2022 campaign, the 25-year-old recorded 70 tackles and an interception.
