Things have been surprisingly quiet for the Patriots to begin the 2024 free agency period.
Despite all of the cap space available for New England to bolster its lineup, Eliot Wolf and the Patriots’ front office haven’t made the big splash many expected it to. New England didn’t land top wide receiver Calvin Ridley, and now they lost out on the top offensive tackle available, Tyron Smith.
Smith reportedly agreed to a one-year deal that could earn him up to $20 million with New England’s AFC East rival New York Jets.
The Patriots are still in need of a bonafide starting left tackle.
