Unlike last year, The New England Patriots have been extremely quiet in free agency.
Bill Belichick only signed cornerback Terrance Mitchell and running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery thus far — both are older players with limited production in recent seasons. Last offseason, the Patriots spent an $175 million in guaranteed money to brought in guys like Matthew Judon, Hunter Henry, Jonnu Smith, Nelson Agholor, Jalen Mills and more.
NFL Media’s Mike Giardi spoke with an agent who has done business with the Patriots and said they are using a similar approach as years in the past. Let free agents test the market and they can come back if the money and situations weren’t what they wanted elsewhere.
