On March 15th, the NFL’s legal tampering period began, wherein teams could begin to come to agreements with unrestricted free agents.

- James White, RB: White signed a one-year deal on Wednesday to remain with the Patriots for an eighth season. The deal is worth $2.5 million and is fully guaranteed. White has had a successful seven-year run in New England that includes his legendary performance (14 catches, 139 total yards, three TDs) in Super Bowl LI.
