The official start of free agency begins Wednesday. Keep it here all day long for the latest updates and analysis:
10:00 p.m.: Phillip Dorsett has agreed to return to the Patriots on a one-year deal. A wise move -- the receiver adds to New England's receiver depth. Smart and dependable, he could have a larger role in 2019, provided the way the rest of the offseason shakes out for the Pats.
5:08 p.m.: A few observations Miguel pulled from this press release:
3 from the free agency press release
1.) Cody Hollister's contract did not toll as originally thought. Now a street free agent
2.) Slater's option had to have been picked up. Otherwise, he would have been listed.
3.) The compensation for Josh Gordon is listed as 2nd round.

The #Patriots have maintained a level of interest in one of their own, free agent corner Jason McCourty. Was a solid addition and a pro's pro.
