Free agency has begun, and I suspect the New England Patriots will be heavily active in free agency much like last offseason.

The Patriots have the cap space to be aggressive in addressing their needs. While New England does return plenty of talent from last year’s Super Bowl team, they do still have holes on the roster to solve:

  • Wide Receiver
  • Pass rusher
  • Nose tackle
  • Tight End
  • Offensive line depth
  • Linebacker

General manager Eliot Wolf, vice president of player personnel Ryan Cowden, and head coach Mike Vrabel struck gold with plenty of free agents last season like K’Lavon Chaisson, Harold Landry, and Milton Williams. Who will be their next key targets this offseason?
