We don't need to tell you that the Patriots were busy at the start of free agency. The Patriots brought in new faces and brought back several players from the 2020 roster.
In the midst of all that news, three former Patriots found their way back to Foxborough. Kyle Van Noy and Ted Karras re-signed with the team after both spent a year in Miami before rejoining the squad in New England. Before free agency began, the Patriots traded for Trent Brown from the Raiders, bringing him back after two season in Las Vegas.
Van Noy, Karras and Brown haven't been gone from New England for very long, but we're reintroducing them to Patriots fans as a welcome back.
