With training camp only two weeks away the New England Patriots currently have 90 players on their roster. That number will obviously be reduced to 53 come the regular season, while others will join the practice squad or injury-related reserve lists. At the moment, however, a significant portion of that roster will be playing for new contracts in 2021.
In fact, more than half of the players currently on New England’s payroll is headed for some form of free agency next spring. Not every player listed below will make it thus far as a member of the organization, but as will be seen some key members of the club will have to be accounted for one way or the other over the coming eight months.
