The Patriots have been willing to let important parts test the market before. Sometimes, there’s a necessary delay.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Patriots re-signed punter Ryan Allen.

Allen has been their punter since 2013, and was a player they wanted to keep.

Mike Reiss of ESPN.com noted that Allen recently changed agents, and the five-day delay might explain the lag before he returned.
