Much of the focus on the Patriots’ offseason will be on which players the team adds to beef up its chances to compete for a Super Bowl in 2022. But, as always, the arrival of fresh faces usually accompanies a couple of holdovers heading out the door.
NFL insider Jeff Howe of The Athletic highlighted a number of players that might leave Foxborough this offseason as the team tries to stay under the salary cap. (New England currently has just over $8 million in cap space heading into free agency.)
One easy cut: defensive end Henry Anderson, who did next to nothing with the Patriots last season after signing a two-year, $7 million free-agent contract in 2021.
