Coming off a 2021 season that saw them return to the playoffs but eventually come up short on wild card weekend, the New England Patriots have a long list of to-dos this offseason. One of its items is bringing back players who are scheduled to enter free agency.
There are quite a few of them: all in all, 18 players that were with New England last season are in need of a new contract. Among them is linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley, who is an unrestricted free agent and will therefore hit the open market on March 16.
