The New England Patriots have agreed to a contract extension with linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley, according to a source.

Bentley was under contract for 2023 and was set to earn up to $4.25 million between base salary, bonuses and incentives.

The two-year extension will now allow the linebacker to earn a maximum value of $18.75 million over the next three seasons, according to a source. 

The New England Patriots have reached an agreement on a new three-year deal with DeVante Parker, according to a league source.

Parker, who was entering the final year of his contract, can earn up to $33 million if he achieves every per-game roster bonus, and hits all playing time and performance incentives that include All-Pro honors.

The wide receiver totaled 31 receptions for 539 yards and three touchdowns last season in New England after being acquired from the Miami Dolphins in an offseason trade. 

Tyler Conklin believes there's "plenty of room" for Dalvin Cook in the New York Jets' backfield if his former teammate is interested in signing to play with the team.

Cook was released by the Minnesota Vikings earlier this month.

Robert Saleh didn't dismiss the idea of the Jets' interest in Cook earlier this month when he said the team would "turn the stones over on that one," while ultimately saying the decision would be Joe Douglas to make.

"There's plenty of room. We've got room for whoever wants to come help us win a Super Bowl," Conklin said. "Me and Dalvin were basically locker mates my first couple years, and he was an awesome guy. I reached out to him because I was just curious, like are the rumors true? Is this actually possible?

"That'd be a special backfield with Breece [Hall] and Dalvin and the rookie (Israel Abanikanda) and whatnot, Mike Carter. I don't know. That's a lot of running backs, but I think that'd be special, especially in this outside zone scheme."

Melvin Gordon remains without a contract as the offseason progress, something the running back blames on his position.

There are a number of established running backs available on the free agent market, but one of them believes he'll have a new home soon.

"I'm just being patient," Kareem Hunt said. "I've had some things come up. But right now, I'm enjoying my time with my family. I'm training and working hard and just staying ready.

"I'm not frustrated at all. It's going to work itself out. Right now I'm just here to enjoy time with my family and show these kids a good time at this football camp. I know it's all going to work out at the end of the day."

The New York Giants and Saquon Barkley have resumed talks on a potential long-term contract, according to a report.

The two sides have until July 17 to reach an agreement.

Barkley will have to decide if he's willing to play the 2023 season under the $10.1 million franchise tag.

The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to terms on a contract with Sony Michel.

The running back was part of the team that won Super Bowl LVI.

Michel, 28, spent last season with the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Cleveland Browns are likely to add a running back before the start of the 2023 season.

They won't re-sign Kareem Hunt reportedly because they feel he's lost some of his speed.

Behind Nick Chubb, Cleveland has Jerome Ford, Demetric Felton and John Kelly, Jr.

Dalvin Cook and Ezekiel Elliott are free agents, but a report states that the Browns won't add a "big-name back."

Dalvin Cook is interested in teaming up with fellow big-name free agent DeAndre Hopkins.

Cook said of Hopkins on the The Adam Schefter Podcast, "If we end up on the same roster, that would be something epic for the NFL."

Cook, who played six seasons for the Minnesota Vikings, turns 28 in August and was set to take up $14.1 million in cap space for 2023. 

Hopkins, 31, has been assessing his options as well since his release from the Arizona Cardinals last month. 

"I know his mindset, and I done play against D-Hop a numerous amount of times," Cook told Schefter. "When I been with D-Hop, we done chill together, we done been around each other like, and it's like I kind of see the person that he is like, he want to win and that's what my mind at to.

"I want to go win. Like I said, the money gonna come and that's going to happen. But like as far as going to lift that [Vince Lombardi] Trophy up, he got the same mindset as me."

Chris Jones is entering the final year of his contract, but the Kansas City Chiefs feel good about talks with the All-Pro about a reworked deal.

"We have great communication and there's a lot of time before camp," general manager Brett Veach said. "[I] feel good about where we're going to be with Chris. We'll get to celebrate tonight and have a good time, break tomorrow, and I'm sure we'll have great dialogue from now to the start of training camp and look forward to Chris being here not just for next year, but for a long time."

Jones had a career-high 15.5 sacks last season and has said he wants to remain with the franchise.
