Jake Bailey receives four-year extension from Patriots

The New England Patriots have agreed to terms on a four-year, $13.5 million contract extension with punter Jake Bailey.

Fantasy Impact: This deal makes a lot of sense for both sides, with Bailey becoming one of the highest paid punters in the NFL with this deal, and the Patriots locking in a key special teams player long term. Punters aren’t game changers, but having a good one that can flip field positioning is very important in today’s NFL. The Patriots recognize this, and they should continue to have a good special teams unit as always.
