Patrick Chung already announced his retirement earlier this offseason, and soon-to-be 34-year-old Devin McCourty might follow him in a year or two. The times are changing for the New England Patriots’ safety group, and last year’s investments are a sign of that: the team added Adrian Phillips in free agency and later also selected Kyle Dugger in the second round of the draft.
While the two have played some promising football alongside McCourty during the 2020 season, the question is whether or not the team views the tandem as a long-term solution at the position. If not, the Patriots will likely not shy away from adding another safety in this year’s draft — and if they do Trevon Moehrig might be a name to keep in mind.
