2018 NFL free agency: Quick-hit thoughts on the Patriots and the first day of the legal tampering period

While the NFL's free agency will not start until tomorrow 4:00 p.m. ET, the league is already pretty busy. After all, the legal tampering window was opened yesterday and gives all 32 teams the chance to enter preliminary negotiations with representatives of the players about to hit unrestricted free agency.

New England's free agents draw a lot of interest...

Atop the Patriots' list of free agents are offensive tackle Nate Solder, running back Dion Lewis and cornerback Malcolm Butler.
