That’s the hope every year. Contrary to belief that even happened this offseason (Patterson, jc Jackson)
In fairness, Patterson was acquired via trade.
The only 2018 free agent signings who are currently on the roster include Clayborn, Simon, Kamalu, and Meifonwu - plus McClellan and Humber, who have clearly made a positive impact on ST.
Interesting note, to me anyway:
When the Pats traded their 2019 3rd-rounder for Shelton, they received a 5th from the Browns in return. A week later, they traded that 5th-rounder to the Raiders for Patterson, plus a sixth (#210, used to draft Berrios).
So, in effect, the Pats traded a 2019 3rd for Shelton, Patterson and Berrios.
