This offseason, the New England Patriots paid a number of their own players before they hit the market, including defensive lineman Christian Barmore.
Barmore, 24, received a massive four-year extension worth up to $92 million ($23 million annually), making him the second-highest-paid player in franchise history after Tom Brady.
Over the weekend, Barmore posted a few clips from his recent workouts on his Instagram story, and it doesn't look like he's going to slow down because he got paid.

It might be just a sled, but Barmore will probably be doing this exact same thing to offensive linemen come September.
In 17 games in 2023, Barmore set career highs in tackles (64), quarterback hits (16), sacks (8.5), passes defensed (six) and forced fumbles (one).
