Jennings had agreed to a three-year contract with the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jennings will remain in New England, where the 2020 third-round draft pick has spent his entire career up to this point. He posted 66 tackles (49 solo) across 15 appearances (14 starts) in 2023, but it remains to be seen if the linebacker will hold onto a starting role in 2024 under New England's new coaching staff.

Jennings tallied 66 tackles (49 solo), 1.5 sacks and one fumble recovery across 15 regular-season appearances with the Patriots in 2023.
EDGE Analysis
Jennings put up career-best numbers across the board in the final year of his rookie deal. A 2020 third-round pick, Jennings logged a new high with 649 defensive snaps in 2023, compared to his previous best of 337 in 2022. Heading into his age-27 season, Jennings will search for another opportunity as a rotational linebacker in free agency if the Patriots don't opt to retain him.

Jennings posted four tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, in Sunday's loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Jennings came into the contest without any sacks this season, but he took advantage of a porous New York offensive line to record a full sack in the third quarter and a half-sack in the fourth. The 26-year-old has seen an increased role in his third NFL campaign, and he's already set career-high marks with 394 defensive snaps and 39 total tackles through nine contests.

Jennings (undisclosed) participated in OTAs and minicamp after spending the entire 2021 campaign on injured reserve, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jennings recorded 14 appearances as a rookie and notched 20 tackles and one quarterback hit. The 2020 third-round pick started the 2021 campaign on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury and was never activated. However, he appears healthy this offseason and will likely compete for a sizable role in 2022 after New England lost Dont'a Hightower, Jamie Collins and Kyle Van Noy.
