The NFL will officially flip its calendar to 2022 on March 16 at 4 p.m. ET, and in the process of doing so kick off this year’s free agency period. The New England Patriots, coming off a 10-7 season and return to the playoffs, are projected to be rather busy: they have a long and notable list of players headed for the open market, and also need to further build the roster around second-year quarterback Mac Jones.
Expect quite a lot to be going on the next few days as reports will start to come in and the rumor mill begin to work overtime.
