With the salary cap now set for 2023, the Patriots can look to some of their in-house free agents if they want to work on extensions before free agency opens in March.
New England has 10 players slated to hit free agency on the offensive side of the ball, including some homegrown staples like Jakobi Meyers and Damien Harris. So who will be in Foxborough back next season?
Here are predictions for what free agency will hold for each player on offense (and a bonus longsnapper):
Jakobi Meyers, 27 next season
2022 cap hit: $3,986,000
The undrafted free agent has been New England’s leading receiver for the past three seasons, and the Patriots would certainly like to bring him back.
