The New England Patriots still have three rookie contracts that remain unsigned. Those proposed deals belong to offensive tackle Will Campbell, running back TreVeyon Henderson and safety Craig Woodson.
ESPN’s Mike Reiss shared an update on each deal and the reasons for the delay in his Sunday notes column.

Per Reiss, the Patriots and Campbell’s reps are currently “working through the details on cash flow” with his contract, while Woodson’s deal has been slowed by the additional compensation that comes with being a high fourth-round draft pick. Meanwhile, Henderson’s contract is fully guaranteed, and the current focus is finding an end point for those guarantees.
There’s no need to hit the panic button, Patriots fans. It’s not unusual for some contracts to take longer. The team and player agents are hard at work behind the scenes hammering out an agreement in the contract language to finalize the deals.
Campbell is expected to be the Patriots’ starting left tackle, while Henderson is an explosive new offensive weapon who should take some of the pressure off quarterback Drake Maye. Woodson is an impact player on the defense who has stood out in the early offseason practices.
All three players are expected to have significant roles on the team in 2025 and beyond.
