The New England Patriots spent a significant portion of their cap space this offseason to re-sign some of their core players in free agency. Among that group is tight end Hunter Henry, who put his signature under a three-year, $27 million pact before he was set to hit the open market in mid-March.
As part of that deal, Henry also has the opportunity to boost its value. On top of that $27 million base, he stands to earn $1 million annually in incentives.
According to Patriots salary cap expert Miguel Benzan, those incentives are structured as follows:
TE Hunter Henry: Contract incentives
2024: Up to $1 million
$250,000: 50 receptions
$250,000: 55 receptions
$250,000: 60 receptions

2025: Up to $1 million
$250,000: 50 receptions
