The Patriots began training camp this week with some interesting roster decisions to be made, which will inevitably dictate how their season unfolds. The most damning choices appear to be for the offense, as 12 wide receivers are currently signed and a handful of rookies have already impressed at other positions this spring.
That creates an even more intriguing scenario for Mike Vrabel and the new regime to encounter, with some players potentially stealing a roster spot from those who might have otherwise been locks before this year's free agency and draft.
It's a problem that they haven't had the fortune of dealing with for many years, especially since Tom Brady left five years ago.
