NFL teams can begin legally tampering with free agents starting Monday at noon. That should give the New England Patriots a better sense of which players they’ll be able to bring back in free agency.
Before the craziness starts, let’s take a look at the Patriots’ depth chart excluding their 13 unrestricted free agents to see how the team looks heading into the offseason.
QUARTERBACK
Starter: Tom Brady
Reserves: Brian Hoyer
The Patriots need a developmental quarterback to serve as Brady’s eventual successor. That player should be drafted in the first three rounds of the 2018 NFL Draft.
