APRIL 4th: The Pats formally announced the signing, as Ben Volin of The Boston Globe tweets.
MARCH 30th: The Patriots have agreed to sign tight end Clay Harbor, Adam Caplan of ESPN.com tweets. Harbor visited the Patriots at the start of free agency and while we haven’t heard much in the last three weeks, it appears the two sides have finally reached agreement on a deal. 
After averaging 25 receptions per season from 2012 to 2014, Harbor caught 14 balls for 149 yards and a touchdown in 2015 for the Jaguars, primarily serving as a blocker. Pats coach Bill Belichick “spoke at length” last season about how Harbor was used, calling him a FB/TE hybrid, so his interest in the 28-year-old (29 in July) did not come as a huge surprise.
With major depth at the tight end position, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Harbor get a chunk of his playing time at fullback. On the tight end depth chart, Harbor figures to be slated behind star Rob Gronkowski and new acquisition Martellus Bennett. The Patriots also have 6’6″ Michael Williams in the fold.
In other Patriots news, New England could be on the verge of signing defensive lineman Terrance Knighton. The Pats also inked cornerback E.J. Biggers on Tuesday.

So while every other team is trying to figure out who to draft in the first round, the Patriots are signing players who can help them win another Belichick trophy! Good luck to the rest of the AFC looks like a stacked team to me! So far this team has added 4 former first round picks,depth at TE, Linebackers,and WR’s. As well as shoring up the special teams. All I can say is Bill Belichick is playing grand master chess, while the rest of the teams are trying to play checkers!
I agree. Payback for taking his first round pick. His way of saying he will out maneuver you.
