The New England Patriots have lost plenty of key players this offseason.
The defense has been hit particularly hard, with No. 1 cornerback J.C. Jackson leaving to join the Los Angeles Chargers in free agency. Linebacker Kyle Van Noy was released, while linebackers Jamie Collins and Dont'a Hightower remain unsigned as free agents.
The offensive line lost both of its starting guards in Ted Karras (free agency) and Shaq Mason (trade).
The only notable additions made this offseason are wide receiver DeVante Parker (trade), running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery and cornerback Malcolm Butler (free agency).
