The New England Patriots have agreed to terms on a contract with a second member of their 2023 NFL Draft class.
The Patriots and UCLA guard Atonio Mafi agreed to terms on a four-year deal worth $4,175,540 contract with a $335,540 signing bonus, per a source.
Here are the base salaries:
2023: $750,000
2024: $915,000
2025: $1.03M
2026: $1.145M
The Patriots agreed to terms on a deal with sixth-round wide receiver Kayshon Boutte last week.
Mafi began his college career as a defensive lineman before moving to the offensive line in 2020. The 6-foot-4, 339-pound lineman was a one-year starter at left guard in 2022.
The fifth-round pick played as a prep at Junipero Serra High School, where Patriots legend Tom Brady famously attended.
Mafi played 56 career games —tied for the UCLA record — in five seasons. He’s projected to back up starting left guard Cole Strange and right guard Michael Onwenu, though he’ll receive some competition from fourth-round picks Jake Andrews and Sidy Sow.
The Patriots selected 12 total players in the 2023 NFL Draft.
