Former Michigan football star and Swiss army knife, Jabrill Peppers, has signed a contract extension with the New England Patriots according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport. The deal is reportedly a three-year contract extension that could pay $30 million.

Peppers struggled to find his footing in the NFL initially after being drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft. He then made his way to the New York Giants before finally landing with the Patriots. He's now found a home it appears, enough so that the Patriots are willing to put their pocketbook on the line to lock him up for three more seasons.
