Back in April, the New England Patriots made Christian Barmore the highest-paid non-Tom Brady player in franchise history when they handed the then 24-year-old defensive tackle a four-year deal worth up to $92 million. Unfortunately, before Barmore could step on the field for the 2024 season, it looked like his season, and potentially his career, […]

Things have not been going well for the New England Patriots as of late.
