Peppers, 28, was entering the last year of his two-year contract with the Patriots. His new deal locks him up the 2027 season.

“I am very happy for peppers and for his family and also for our team and organization,” Mayo said. “He really embodies everything that we want on the field. He’s very selfless. He’s out there flying around all the time, and it’s good to get that deal done.”

Peppers was one of the Patriots’ best defenders last season, playing a versatile role as a free and strong safety. He first joined the Patriots on a one-year deal in 2022 and saw his role increase last season after signing a two-year deal to stick on the roster.
