The Patriots will open 2021's free agency period with a good chunk of cap space, but significant holes and questions across their roster that will need to be figured out. How to best use that space, starting with which of their own internal free agents to retain, is what the team is considering now as they prepare for the new league year to start on March 17.
Similar to the Patriots draft fit board, this is a free agency fit board, trying to find the best external free agents who fit what the team has traditionally looked for in free agency.
