The third and final day of legal tampering, which led into the start of the 2021 league year, was relatively quiet in New England. But the Patriots did bring back a pair of familiar faces, with center Ted Karras and linebacker Kyle Van Noy. They still have plenty of work to do as far as figuring out whether they want to keep their own internal free agents, or decide on players to release as a way of clearing cap space.
Bill Belichick moved toward cap-clearing moves in the early hours of Thursday, releasing wide receiver Marqise Lee and defensive tackle Beau Allen, neither of whom saw the field for the Patriots in 2020. Scroll down for more NFL free agency news, and other updates as they relate to the construction of the 2021 Patriots roster.
