At this stage in the NFL offseason, most of the big free agent signings have already occurred. The Patriots lost Trey Flowers, Cordarrelle Patterson, Trent Brown, and others; they gained Brandon Bolden, Terrence Brooks, Bruce Ellington, and others. More importantly, they re-signed key contributors from 2018’s squad like Jason McCourty, John Simon, and Ryan Allen.
Amongst the remaining items on their free agency to-do list, two names stand out above the rest: wide receiver Chris Hogan and placekicker Stephen Gostkowski.
It’s somewhat of a surprise that no resolution has yet been reached with either player.
