Kenny Britt is staying in New England. The Patriots informed the wide receiver that they will be exercising his option for the 2018 season. 
This time last year, the Browns signed Britt to a four-year, $32.5MM deal. That contract turned out to be an absolute disaster as he had just 18 catches for 233 yards and two touchdowns for Cleveland. When John Dorsey replaced Sashi Brown as the Browns’ top exec, his very first move was to release Britt, even though it meant eating the guaranteed portion of his contract. Britt went unclaimed on waivers, but the Pats quickly scooped him up.
The Patriots paid Britt the prorated portion of the veteran minimum ($900K) in the first year of his deal with an option for $2018 worth $1.5MM with a chance to reach $2MM. Given that Britt is not far removed from his 1,000+ yard campaign with the Rams, his contract could turn into one of the league’s most tremendous values.
Britt saw time in only three games for New England and did not suit up for the playoffs. With a full offseason to acclimate to the Pats’ offense, he may be in position for a significant role this season. His presence may also allow the Pats to allow Danny Amendola to leave in free agency, should his asking price climb too high.
Does that mean amendola is gone?
He gone!
Why are there even contracts for m ore than 1 year in the NFL? Written on toilet paper. 4 years and 32M?
Britt knew what he was signing. That’s why guaranteed money is the key component of contracts. He did well for his one of year of pathetic play
No I know how it works, just the dumbest thing on earth. All it does it complicate the salary cap.
If anything this means it’s more likely they release Hogan and bring back Danny, Britt can fill that big receiver and for a lot cheaper than Hogan
NFL contracts are never about the years but all about the guaranteed money.
