FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots and starting right tackle Marcus Cannon have agreed to a five-year contract extension, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.Cannon, who was scheduled for unrestricted free agency after the season, has turned in arguably the best performance of his six-year career. Primarily a top backup in his first five seasons in New England who had proved to be a capable fill-in starter, Cannon has become a full-time starter in 2016 with veteran Sebastian Vollmer unavailable to play all season because of a hip injury.Cannon, 28, was recently lauded by veteran offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia for altering his style of play.The improvement weve noticed has really been this year. We asked him to play a different way and do things differently, Scarnecchia said. Hes such a good guy, he really tries to do them that way, and I think hes made great strides.Hes a big man [6-foot-5, 335 pounds] that moves very well and uses his hands much better in pass protection. He can be a real force in the run game, so Im pleased with where he is. But neither one of us is satisfied, so we just keep moving forward.Asked to elaborate on how the Patriots have asked Cannon to play a different way, Scarnecchia explained the change is tied to his 34-inch arm length.He hasnt used his length, Scarnecchia said. His arms are really long, but he doesnt use them like a guy that has long arms needs to use them. The more you keep the defenders out and away from you, instead of letting them get into your body and grab things, the better off youre going to be at tackle. He seems to grasp that very well and embrace it. If he will continue to play that way, hell be fine. And he has been fine.Before the regular season, coach Bill Belichick also noted Cannons conditioning.Im sure you noticed in training camp how fit he looks. Hes really in good shape. This is the best condition hes been in since hes been here, Belichick said on 98.5 The Sports Hub. Not that hes ever been in bad condition, but Id say hes in real good condition now, and I think thats certainly helped his overall play and stamina.Cannon, who played at Texas Christian, entered the NFL as a 2011 fifth-round draft choice of the Patriots. He likely would have been drafted higher had he not had non-Hodgkin lymphoma leading into the draft. Air Force 1 Mid Uomo .
