2024 Fantasy Outlook
Judon, who suffered a torn right biceps Week 4 of last season, was as a result limited to 13 tackles and four sacks in 2023, but when he's healthy the 31-year-old can be a productive pass rusher, given that he racked up a team high 15.5 sacks in 2022. Now that he's past his injury, he'll remain a core member of the Patriots defense under new coordinator DeMarcus Covington. Judon's looming return fortifies the team's linebacking corps, and a return to IDP relevance seems likely for Judon - who recorded back-to-back 60-tackle efforts in 2021 and 2022 - in his fourth campaign with New England.

Reports to training camp
Judon reported to Patriots' training camp Tuesday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The Patriots previously offered a contract to Judon, but the two sides still appear to be far apart on a new deal, per Henry McKenna of FoxSports.com. Judon is set to make $6.5 million in the final year of his contract, and he's coming off a 2023 campaign in which he missed the final 13 regular-season games due to a torn biceps. The 2016 fifth-round pick is still one of the most formidable pass rushers in the league, having registered 28.0 sacks across 2021 and 2022. For now, it appears Judon is willing to participate in training camp while negotiating a new deal.

In his second year with the Patriots, Judon finished the 2022 season with 60 tackles, a team-high 15.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 17 games. As long as he continues to make his mark as a pass rusher - he also logged 12.5 sacks in 2021 - the 6-3, 261-pound linebacker will remain a cornerstone of New England's defense, as well as a player worthy of IDP consideration.

Might get dealt without extension
Judon could be traded before the beginning of the regular season if the Patriots aren't able to work out a new deal with the edge rusher, Greg Bedard of the Boston Sports Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Bedard believes that Judon won't play for New England in 2024 on his current contract, and the two sides don't seem close on working out an extension or even a reworked one-year deal with heavy incentives. Judon has indicated that he won't hold out from training camp as he did last season, but the club may still prefer to trade him rather than watch him leave for nothing in free agency next year. The 31-year-old played only four games last season due to a torn bicep, but he's recorded 32.0 sacks in his last 38 NFL games dating back to 2021.
