Count LeBron James among the number of folks in awe of the New England Patriots' spending spree at the unofficial start of free agency.

James, once a star high school football recruit himself, tweeted Bill Belichick has him “all the way F'd up” after Belichick and the Pats made a number of impact moves on Monday and Tuesday.

LeBron's Cleveland Browns made a nice upgrade at safety, agreeing to terms with former Los Angeles Rams safety John Johnson III.

But neither the Browns nor James' other team of choice, the Dallas Cowboys, have gotten as busy as the Pats.

New England entered the legal tampering period with the second-most cap space in the NFL. The Patriots have made full use of that space.

Belichick's first day was highlighted by signing former Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith and Baltimore Ravens edge rusher Matt Judon.

Smith was one of New England's top pass-catching targets, an athletic tight end and elite red zone threat. Judon should bolster the team's pass rush as a guy who can consistently make plays in the defensive backfield.

The Patriots also agreed to terms with wide receives Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne as well as adding cornerback Jalen Mills and nose tackle Davon Godchaux to the mix.

But the cherry on top came Tuesday when New England signed former Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry. The Patriots suddenly boast an offense loaded with weapons, and supplemented those moves with some improvements on the other side of the ball.

It seemed likely the Pats would spend quite a bit in free agency. Still, it seems unlikely many pundits saw this coming. LeBron James is certainly shocked by all of New England's moves.
