The New England Patriots will do little in free agency. That will be disappointing to a lot of people but it’s just a fact. According to Over the Cap the Patriots currently have $16.5 million in cap space. Guys, that just not a lot of money. Their cap situation is tight. They may sign a low level free agent who turns into a key contributor a la Alan Branch or Lawrence Guy but they will not be signing a premier agent. Why? They simply do not have the money.
There is a reason the Kansas City Chiefs cut Justin Houston and have put Dee Ford on the trade block despite them accounting for a combined 22 regular season sacks.
