Free agency was a bore. Not that this was surprising to the Pulpit faithful at large. As I wrote just before the free agency frenzy began, about five minutes before the Trent Brown news broke, the Patriots were not going to be active in free agency. They simply did not have the cash to spend and arguably the best talents were their own free agents. Though restructures could free up more cap for some surprise addition — this is where I planned on mentioning Justin Houston but he signed with the Colts while in the process of writing — the odds were strongly against the Patriots making a significant move in terms of signing free agency players.
