Matthew Judon did return to practice for the New England Patriots last week while making his desire for a new contract well known.

Over the weekend, an AFC East star did get paid, revoking a reaction from the prominent pass-rusher.

The Miami Dolphins inked speedy wide receiver Tyreek Hill to a three-year contract for $90 million on Saturday, keeping one of the game's top playmakers in the division for the near future with a new payday.

Judon reposted the news on his Instagram story on Sunday with the caption, 'Know ya worth,' above the NFL's post.

Judon is certainly worthy of a pay bump as he's done nothing but perform for the Patriots since signing before the 2021 season. A bicep injury did end his season in Week 4 a season ago, so he certainly has time to prove himself to the Patriots for his continued impact in what will likely be a multi-year rebuild for New England.

Judon made it sound like he wants to be in New England for that. Still days before the first preseason game, the Patriots still have work to do to resolve the situation with arguably their player to keep him for years to come.
