Ja’Whaun Bentley enters his third season with the New England Patriots on a depth chart far different than his second.
The Purdue product saw Kyle Van Noy exit on a four-year, $51 million contract in March. He saw Jamie Collins do the same on a three-year, $30 million pact in the hours after. And as free agency moved on, so did Elandon Roberts on a one-year, $2 million deal.
Those linebackers combined to play north of 1,800 defensive snaps for the New England Patriots this past campaign.
Their names can be found on the rosters of the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions now.
