New England signed Barmore to a four-year, $92 million extension Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal contains $41.8 million guaranteed, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. It's the largest non-Tom Brady contract handed out in Patriots history. A second-round pick in 2021, Barmore recorded a career-best 8.5 sacks last season after totaling just four across his first two years in the league. Barmore is a foundational piece along New England's defensive front.

Barmore finished the 2023 regular season with 64 tackles, to go along with a team-high 8.5 sacks in 17 games with the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Barmore, whom Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site called the team's best overall player this past season, remains under contract with New England in 2024 and is viewed as a potential candidate for an extension this offseason. Regardless if such a deal happens, the 2021 second-round draft pick is slated to reprise his role as a key interior lineman during Jerod Mayo's first campaign as the franchise's head coach.

Barmore (knee) is active Sunday against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Barmore completed a full week of limited practices, helping pave the way for him to take the field in Week 18. His ability to suit up should benefit New England's depth at nose tackle.

Barmore (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Barmore was able to log a week of limited practice sessions after sustaining an apparent knee injury, and he's got a shot at suiting up Sunday. If the third-year pro is unable to go in Week 18, Davon Godchaux would likely see even more snaps on the Patriots' defensive line.

Barmore (knee) was a limited participant at the Patriots' practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Barmore has been limited at each of the team's first two sessions of the week as he's been dealing with an apparent knee injury. The defensive lineman will have one more chance to log a full practice Friday before the team's final injury report comes out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Jets.

Barmore logged six total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

The 2021 second-round pick out of Alabama had never logged six-plus tackles in one game throughout his first 40 appearances, but he's now hit this mark in three consecutive games going back to Week 15. Barmore has definitely had the best year of his career thus far, appearing in 16 games and recording 54 total tackles, including 11 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks (all career-highs). Expect the up-and-coming nose tackle to continue his stretch of productivity in Week 18 against the Jets.

Barmore (undisclosed) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Barmore drew a questionable designation following Friday's final injury report, but his health is good enough for him to give it a go Sunday. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual responsibilities on the interior defensive line for New England.

Barmore recorded eight tackles (five solo), including three sacks, and forced a fumble in Sunday's 26-23 win against Denver.

EDGE Analysis

Barmore was a force the Broncos couldn't reckon with Sunday, as he got to Russell Wilson in the backfield on three occasions. All of his sacks came in the third quarter, and the final one -- on the last play of the period -- resulted in a fumble, though Denver was able to recover. Barmore posted a modest 3.0 sacks over his first 10 games of the season, but he's taken off with 5.5 sacks over five contests since New England's Week 11 bye.

Barmore (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Barmore was able to log limited practice sessions leading up to Week 16 and has progressed enough to play Sunday. He hasn't missed a game all season and has accumulated 40 tackles (25 solo), including 5.5 sacks, in 14 games as the backup nose tackle behind Davon Godchaux.

Barmore (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday night's game against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Barmore seems to have suffered a shoulder injury at some point within the last week, and after a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a shot at suiting up Sunday night. The 24-year-old is coming off what was debatably the best game of his season, but if he's unable to suit up in Week 16, expect Davon Godchaux to get even more snaps on the Patriots' defensive line.
