The Patriots biggest needs – offensive line, defensive line, and wide receiver – are obvious. When it comes to the cornerback position, it’s not as glaring but it’s a sneaky big need in New England.
Besides Christian Gonzalez, the Patriots have one cornerback signed through the 2025 season – Marcellus Dial.
Last year’s No. 2 corner, Jonathan Jones, is headed to free agency. A source told MassLive, at the Combine, that Jones would need to take a pay cut to stay with the Patriots and could be headed elsewhere.
