COMMENTARY
As the Patriots move to sign their entire draft class, one issue the team is running into is available cap space to slot their draft picks into. As it currently stands, according to top Patriots salary cap expert Miguel Benzan (@patscap), the team has just $708,618 left in cap space for 2020. That’s not enough room to sign their top draft pick, Kyle Dugger, whose 2020 cap number will be $1,514,891, according to Benzan.
Salary cap space is also likely one of the reasons why New England has not made any moves to bring in another veteran quarterback to compete with Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer for the starting job this summer.
