The Facts: The Patriots re-signed Tyms after declining to tender him as a restricted free agent, according to the NFL transaction wire.

Diehards Line: Tyms made the roster out of camp after serving a four-game league suspension and had a limited role in 11 games -- five catches for 82 yards including a 43-yard touchdown -- as a deep threat. He might have to make strides to earn a roster spot again, however.
