Edge-rusher Matthew Judon didn’t participate in the New England Patriots’ practice on Monday, ostensibly “holding in” as he seeks a reworked deal.
And that potentially led to an animated exchange between him and New England head coach Jerod Mayo, per multiple reports, before the veteran pass-rusher walked off the field:

This is interesting. A number of veterans with years left on their deals—Matthew Stafford, Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams, Maxx Crosby—have been aggressive in seeking adjustments to their contracts.
Judon has been too, and this is another sign of it. https://t.co/x0TKXw5IMw
