It’s a new era for the New England Patriots. With long-time head coach and quasi-general manager Bill Belichick leaving the club earlier this offseason, the new regime led by Jerod Mayo and Eliot Wolf is tasked with getting the organization back on track.
The next major opportunity to do so already awaits: NFL free agency, which is set to begin on Wednesday, March 13, at 4 p.m. ET.
The Patriots and the league’s other 31 franchises will all be quite busy in the days leading up to that pivotal day on the calendar as well: the so-called legal tampering period will open on Monday, March 11, at noon.
