The Patriots have agreed to a two-year contract extension with linebacker Gary Guyton. "We're absolutely thrilled that the Patriots have done this for him," agent Richard Kopelman told the Boston Herald. "... We had some discussions with them a while back. 'Hey, if you could, it'd be great if you could step up and do a little something for Gary this year.' And they told us they would. They were true to their word, which was fantastic." Guyton was scheduled to earn the minimum of $470,000 next season.
