Wide receiver Mack Hollins fell short of what he needed to land a massive contract incentive with the New England Patriots last season, but the team is going to reward him anyway.
Going into the last two regular season games, Hollins was just four catches shy of racking up a $400,000 incentive, but he missed those contests due to injury.
But, according to Michael Ginnitti of Spotrac, Hollins is going to get that money anyway in the form of a 2026 signing bonus.
"The Patriots provided WR Mack Hollins a 'pot-sweetener,' adding a $400,000 signing bonus to his 2026 compensation, Ginnitti said. "The 32-year-old is now set to earn a base of $4.3M next season, with another $1M available via incentives."
That's a classy gesture by the Patriots, and it's well-deserved for Hollins, who put together a strong season in New England and likely would have easily hit the 50-catch mark needed if not for injury.
The 32-year-old wide receiver tallied 46 catches for 550 yards and two scores, which was the second-most productive campaign of his career.
Hollins ranked third in catches, fourth in receiving yards and tied for sixth in touchdowns among Patriots pass-catchers.
Hollins is entering the final year of his $8.4 million contract.
