It still hasn’t been two weeks since free agency opened, and the Patriots already look like a drastically different football team.
It’s not just Tom Brady’s exodus — though it is the most significant.
Bill Belichick’s team has seen significant turnover on both sides of the ball. With under $1 million in cap space at the moment, they’ll either need to trade somebody like Joe Thuney, or restructure Dont’a Hightower’s deal to create any more wiggle room.
So what does the roster look like at the moment? Here’s a free agency reset:
Quarterback
Added: Brian Hoyer
Departed: Tom Brady
Apparently Hoyer wasn’t brought back to given Stidham a veteran presence to lean on.
