The New England Patriots are shoring up their offensive line long term as the team announced that they have re-signed guard Shaq Mason.
NFL reporter Mike Garafolo was one of the NFL reporters to first break the news on his Twitter account.
The #Patriots have agreed to terms with G Shaq Mason on a five-year extension worth up to $50 million, sources informed of the agreement tell me and @HerbieTeope. Former fourth-round pick gets top-10 guard money.
