Patriots go on $232 million spending spree on Day 1 of free agency

The New England Patriots just experienced their first losing season since 2000, and have no interest in doing that again. Just hours into free agency, the Patriots have spent $232 million to get back to their winning ways.

Of that $232 million, more than $200 million was spent on free agents from other teams.

The hits kept coming nonstop Monday, as the team quickly reached deals with tight end Jonnu Smith and nose tackle Davon Godchaux a few minutes after free agency opened. Hours later, the team made two more big additions, signing Matthew Judon and Jalen Mills.
