There are 25 New England Patriots players currently slated to be free agents in 2026.
For the most part, the team has done a tremendous job with the handling of the in-house free agent contracts. Lead personnel executive Eliot Wolf made multiple extensions with key veterans last year, which means the pending free agent list isn't as long as it could have been.
There are still several key contributors heading into the 2025 season with uncertainty looming in regards to their long-term future with the team. Things are even more uncertain given the new dynamic with Patriots coach Mike Vrabel taking on a prominent role in the personnel decisions.
