The first stage of a pivotal New England Patriots offseason begins in earnest Monday.
The NFL’s legal tampering period of free agency starts at noon ET, when teams can start negotiating with free agents. While deals won’t be official until the start of the league year on Wednesday, March 11, we should see plenty of contracts agreed to throughout the afternoon.
The Patriots are expected to be active in free agency as they look to build on a run to Super Bowl 60. Mike Vrabel’s club has roughly $43.3 million in cap space (per OverTheCap) and has a pressing need at wide receiver after parting ways with Stefon Diggs in addition to several other roster needs.
Will New England land a talented wideout in free agency, or perhaps pursue a trade for Eagles star A.J. Brown? Follow our live blog below as we track all the Patriots-related happenings from Day 1 of NFL free agency.
