The Patriots have a long list of players who are set to be free agents at the end of this season and are going to have some difficult decisions to make. Generally speaking, players who play for New England are highly sought after when the team succeeds, and given that the Patriots have won three Super Bowls in five years, it’ safe to assume some of these guys are going to get paid elsewhere.
The list of players heading into free agency is:
- Tom Brady
- Devin McCourty
- Matthew Slater
- Marshall Newhouse
- James Ferentz
- Nick Folk
- Jamie Collins
- Elandon Roberts
- Danny Shelton
- Shalique Calhoun
- Justin Bethel
Of that list, 12 players are starters on offense, defense, or special teams.
