The most notable New England Patriots news from the opening few hours of NFL free agency was the team's interview with Alabama running back Derrick Henry.
Unsurprisingly, the Patriots stood pat while teams with more cap space spent like crazy.
New England's lone acquisition: The team announced the signing of veteran linebacker Ramon Humber, an ex-Saint who primarily plays special teams.
The Pats also released linebacker Dane Fletcher, who, according to WEEI's Chris Price, will retire. The Herald's Jeff Howe said Fletcher plans to open up a gym in his home state of Montana.
