Patriots Resign Newton, Several Free Agents From Other Teams

The New England Patriots have made a huge splash — actually, more of a tidal wave — in the first hours of the NFL's free agency period.

The Patriots reportedly reached contract agreements with more than half a dozen free agents from other teams. At the same time, they've also agreed to bring back quarterback Cam Newton.
