The Patriots offseason isn’t exactly off to a roaring start.
On Monday, the NFL’s first legal tampering day, the Pats re-signed Devin McCourty, Matthew Slater, Brian Hoyer and James Ferentz. They also lost J.C. Jackson and Ted Karras. On Tuesday, which is the last tampering day before free agents can officially sign contracts, the Patriots swung their first two trades of the offseason while –re-signing two more veterans.
The biggest move of the day was when the Pats traded once promising edge rusher Chase Winovich to the Cleveland Browns for linebacker Mack Wilson.
