As a Super Bowl team we might have been expected to sign 1 of the top 50 FA's.

31 other were competing for free agents. Well, perhaps, a couple were so cap-tied that they couldn't.

How successful have the New England Patriots been in free agency thus far?

According to Sports Illustrated’s Eva Geitheim, Mike Kadlick and Karl Rasmussen, the Patriots’ additions of Alijah Vera-Tucker (No. 16), Romeo Doubs (No. 23), Kevin Byard (No. 26) and Dre’Mont Jones (No. 40) were all ranked among the top 50 free agent signings of 2026.

B-but I saw on Patsfans.com that this was the worst FA period the Patriots have ever had!

Cheep does not fit in this equation.

Pats have the best FB in the league though.

That's high praise for Vera-Tucker especially given that he typically only plays half a season due to injury. Maybe SI didn't include that reality in their rankings.

I think we'll be pleased with the pickups - especially Doubs

They spent 3x as much to get Jones (#40) than they would have to keep Chaisson (#35) but hopefully he's worth the extra money too

not the sexiest list but based off what I’ve seen since last March, this front office knows what theyre doing

A.J. will make it all worthwhile.

Who did we expect them to sign that they missed out on?
