One of Patriots’ top defensive players in 2023 reportedly testing free agency

The Patriots will reportedly have some competition if they hope to re-sign one of their top defensive players from the 2023 season.

Patriots linebacker Mack Wilson plans on testing the free-agent market this week, according to Mark Daniels of MassLive. Per Daniels, New England has been working to sign Wilson before the free-agency bidding officially begins, issuing a “competitive 3-year offer”.”

Wilson, 26, could be a coveted target for several teams this spring thanks to his coverage skills and strong performance during the 2023 season. Over 17 games last season, Wilson recorded 37 tackles, 3.
