The New England Patriots are expected to aggressively make moves to improve their roster in free agency, but the first order of business could be retaining their key players
Their most notable impending free agents are offensive lineman Mike Onwenu, safety Kyle Dugger, and tight end Hunter Henry. They recently placed the transition tag on Dugger, which is worth $13.8 million for safeties in 2024. This means teams can offer Dugger a contract in free agency, but the Patriots have the right of first refusal to match that offer.
