Jahlani Tavai Signs 2-Year Extension with Patriots

The New England Patriots have extended linebacker Jahlani Tavai for two more years. Tavai has agreed to a two-year, $4.4 million extension through 2024. He was originally signed to the team’s practice squad back in 2021.

ESPN’s Field Yates reported the news via his Twitter account on Tuesday.

Tavai was drafted in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of the University of Hawaii. He earned a Second and First Team All-Mountain West appearance during his five-year stint as a Rainbow Warrior. So far, he’s played 55 games in the NFL.

So far in 2022, Tavai has started in seven games for the Patriots, playing in 11 total. He has racked up 1.5 sacks and 38 combined tackle this season. He’s getting much more starting time in his second season with New England, which has translated into a new contract.
