The New England Patriots have been on a spending spree over the last 48 hours. New England entered the NFL off-season with roughly $60 million in cap space to spend. According to overthecap.com, the New England Patriots have roughly $33 million in cap space left after all the signings this off-season.

After finishing the 2020-2021 NFL season with a record of (7-9) and missing the playoffs, Bill Belichick went to work to make sure that it doesn't happen again. The Patriots have made major improvements on both the offensive and defensive side of the football. Belichick's team will look brand new next season and we haven't even hit the draft yet.

The New England Patriots are far from done adding players this off-season. They're still in the hunt to land San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. New England quickly signed the top two tight ends, Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry. The Patriots have also brought back last year's starting quarterback Cam Newton on a one-year, $14 million contract.
