Jason McCourty used a humorous analogy to explain Patriots’ quiet start to free agency

Jason McCourty’s take on the Patriots offseason so far: The Patriots have a fresh start under Jerod Mayo. After 24 seasons under Bill Belichick, some New England fans may have been hoping for a more aggressive approach to the offseason following years of Belichickian restraint. Mayo’s early comments about having “cash to burn” only furthered the notion that the Patriots might make some bold signings.

The reality has been a little different, however, as the Patriots have so far made only modest moves (including re-upping several players from 2023, including Michael Onwenu, Josh Uche, and Hunter Henry, along with applying the transition tag to Kyle Dugger).
