Mills agreed Wednesday with the Patriots on a revised a one-year, $6.1 million contract, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Though Reiss reported last week that the Patriots planned to release Mills, he's now in line to remain with the team after coming to terms on a revised deal. Now presumably past the groin injury that slowed him late last season, Mills is slated to reprise his key role in New England's secondary, where the 28-year-old's ability to play either cornerback or safety is an asset. In 10 games in 2022, Mills recorded 31 tackles and two interceptions.
