The New England Patriots’ week started off in busy fashion. Not only are they reportedly hosting a group of free agents, including cornerback Malcolm Butler and running back Leonard Fournette, starting right tackle Trent Brown was also re-signed on a two-year contract.
With the 28-year-old back in the fold, New England has shored up an offensive line that saw some major departures last week. The club has also managed to return one of its biggest free agents left unaccounted for.
In fact, an argument can be made that only one of its priority players remains out on the open market right now: linebacker and long-time team captain Dont’a Hightower.
