After winning his second Super Bowl with the New England Patriots last season, former Crimson Tide LB Dont’a Hightower has decided to come back to Boston and compete for another.

Hightower, who won BCS National Championships with Alabama in 2009 and 2011 and Super Bowls with New England in 2014 and 2016, is coming off of a career season with the Patriots.

Though championships are nothing new for Hightower, he did enjoy several career firsts in 2016. These accomplishments included his first Pro Bowl, where he was named a starter, and his first selection to an NFL All-Pro team, as he was voted a Second Teamer by the AP.

In his route back to New England, Hightower reportedly declined a more lucrative deal from the New York Jets.

But other sources have reported that the Jets were never in serious consideration:

Hightower’s reported four-year deal will keep him in Boston through 2020, and he is now the second highest paid traditional linebacker in the NFL based on average annual salary. Carolina’s Luke Kuechly remains the highest at $12.4 million per season. Hightower will earn $10.9 million.
