The New England Patriots are in the middle of another run towards the playoffs, but with every game and week something else comes closer as well: free agency — and the next one will be big for the club. While the Patriots already took care of one star player when they agreed to a contract extension with right guard Shaq Mason, 18 more players are currently scheduled to hit the open market next March.
The biggest names on the list include defensive edge Trey Flowers, left tackle Trent Brown, and wide receiver Chris Hogan — as well as Stephen Gostkowski.
