The New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans entered the 2024 offseason with a few similarities.
Both the Patriots (Jerod Mayo) and Titans (Brian Callahan) have first-year head coaches. Thus, both are in the rebuilding stages. Both also had a ton of cap space at the start of the league year. And both the Patriots, who have the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and Titans (Will Levis) could start quarterbacks on rookie contracts come September.
However, despite those similarities, the two organizations took much different approaches in free agency.
The Patriots opted to retain some of their own.
