Christian Barmore was a second-round pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, but the Philadelphia (Pa.) has improved each season in the National Football League. He turned in a career year in 2023, posting his best numbers for total tackles (64), tackles for loss (8.5), sacks (8.5), and pass breakups (six). The 6-foot-5, 315-pound defensive lineman earned a four-year extension worth up to $92 million for the Patriots.
Several NFL insiders reported the information as Barmore is locked up for four more seasons.
