Tender placed by New England
The Patriots placed an exclusive rights tender on Austin on Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Austin missed eight regular-season games in 2024 due to an ankle injury. He returned in Week 12 against the Dolphins, and over the final six games of the season he accrued nine tackles (eight solo) and five pass defenses. Austin will likely sign the tender and return for the 2025 season, and he'll have a chance to earn the second starting outside cornerback job opposite Christian Gonzalez (concussion).
