Patriots head coach Bill Belichick also released a short statement on the team's offseason activity so far:

"We are excited about the additions to our roster so far this year. Whether by trade, free agency or re-signings, the group brings a good mix of offense, defense and special teams. It was great to see them in the building, including some familiar faces, and we are all looking forward to continue building toward the upcoming season."

The Patriots still have enough salary cap space remaining to sign other free agents before training camp begins in the summer. They also have nine picks in next month's 2021 NFL Draft to make further improvements to the roster.
