The New England Patriots spent most of the legal tampering period losing its own free agents – including star defensive end Trey Flowers to the Detroit Lions, left tackle Trent Brown to the Oakland Raiders, and gadget receiver Cordarrelle Patterson to the Chicago Bears.
Now that it’s Wednesday and free agency has officially begun, the Pats are starting to get back in the win column a bit.
The team re-signed linebacker hybrid John Simon and brought back special teams pro and reserve running back Brandon Bolden from Miami.
