NFL Free Agency Live Blog, Latest Patriots News, Rumors and Contracts
“The legal tampering period of NFL free agency began Monday and, unlike last year, the New England Patriots were mostly quiet. Aside from re-signing special teams ace Matthew Slater, the Patriots didn’t bring back or add any notable players on the free agent market. They actually lost a couple key players,” reports Nick Goss in NBC Sports.
“They actually lost a couple key players, including star cornerback J.C. Jackson agreeing to join the Los Angeles Chargers and offensive lineman Ted Karras agreeing to join the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson’s deal is for five years and $82.5 million, including $40 million guaranteed. All contracts cannot be made official until the new league.”
