Folk made 36 of his 39 field-goal attempts and 42 of 47 extra-point attempts during the 2021 regular season, totaling 150 points over 17 games.

Folk, who has been in the NFL since 2007, easily eclipsed his previous career high in points (131) through his first 16 games in 2021, then added six more in the team's regular-season finale to tie Las Vegas' Daniel Carlson for the league lead in that category. The 37-year-old, who managed a left knee issue down the stretch, is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. His strong campaign should land him a kicking job in 2022, though it's unclear if New England inteds to bring him back. Quinn Nordin -- who recently signed a future contract with New England -- would be an option if Folk isn't re-signed.
