Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, receiver Kendrick Bourne and running back Antonio Gibson agreed to contracts with the Patriots, three people familiar with the deals told The Associated Press on Monday.
The Patriots got a bit of a late start, but closed out the first day of NFL free agency with a number of key signings.
The Patriots have checked in with the Chargers on obvious trade/cut candidates during this week's open negotiating period, sources told the Herald. The Chargers are more than $25 million over the salary cap, and they must be compliant before the NFL's new league year begins Wednesday at 4 p.m. Their most obvious trade/cut candidates are wide receivers Mike Williams and Keenan Allen and edge defenders Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack.
The Patriots had $82.79 million in cap space prior to re-signing wide receiver Kendrick Bourne on Sunday night, good for second-most in the league, per Over The Cap. The Pats are expected to be heavily involved in the wide receiver and offensive tackle markets, and sources have told the Herald they are also targeting elite players on defense.
The Patriots have reportedly been in talks with the Chargers regarding some of their potential trade candidates.
