The New England Patriots have decided to re-sign veteran tight end Austin Hooper to a one-year contract worth $5 million, possibly increased to $7 million. Hooper, who appeared in 17 games last season with 45 catches for 476 yards and three touchdowns, formed an effective duo with Hunter Henry. Despite the Patriots' overall offensive struggles in 2024, Hooper's performance marked his highest receiving yards since 2019. His familiarity with head coach Mike Vrabel from their time together in Tennessee adds further value to the team dynamics.
