New England Patriots Expected To Be Extremely Aggressive In Free Agency This Offseason

Kings of Boston Sports , ,



There are good reason for Patriots fans to be excited about the upcoming offseason. The Patriots are heading into NFL free agency with a Brinks truck full of cash to spend. Bill Belichick will be getting his shopping list ready, and should be able to retain every player they want for the future along with making a run at a few star players to fill out the teams needs, especially on offense. This will be much different than years past where the Patriots had to scrape for leftovers with limited salary cap space..

“Everything I am hearing from down there is that the Patriots are going to be extremely and uncharacteristically aggressive in this offseason,” according to NBC Sports Tom Curran.

“To me, I think they will be more of a mid-tier team that will try its luck in the draft, so meaning mid-tier free agent, a Marcus Mariota, a Jacoby Brissett, whoever they deem worth chasing and securing and then to play it in the draft,” he said. “That’s the hardest thing about this, do you force it in the first round with a Mac Jones or a Kyle Trask, who certainly don’t seem to me to be first-round quarterbacks? Or do you say, ‘we’re going to take that good linebacker and see if Trask or Jones if we take them in the second round are players we can develop, or somebody else?’”

With Belichick heading into the twilight of his career, and Patriots fans having a bad taste in their mouth for the first time after so many years of winning, you can expect that they will do what they can to make this a quick fix. They will not be able to have it both ways, so the Patriots will have to decide if they want a stud QB with OK weapons, or star players with an average quarterback and hope for the best. Whatever they end up deciding, the Patriots will field a much more competitive team next season.
