New England heads into 2024 with top outside linebacker Matthew Judon set to return from a torn biceps that ended his 2023 prematurely and Josh Uche and Anfernee Jennings expected to hit free agency. Veteran defensive end Deatrich Wise is under contract for the team for the upcoming season, and Keion White will look to build in his second year.
Without Judon, the New England Patriots’ pass rush fell short at times in 2023. Adding depth to their pass rush group is key to improving the defense under new defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington.
Patriots free agency targets: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | Offensive tackle | Interior offensive line | Interior defensive line
