The New England Patriots have several prominent needs on both sides of the ball, and on the surface the offensive tackle position is not one of them. The team re-signed Trent Brown in free agency, after all, and was therefore able to keep last year’s group intact both at the starter and the depth levels.
However, a look at the group shows that there is a definitive need to find some long-term answers at multiple spots:
- Isaiah Wynn: 26 | Signed through 2022
- Trent Brown: 29 | Signed through 2023
- Justin Herron: 26 | Signed through 2023
- Yodny Cajuste: 26 | Signed through 2022
- Yasir Durant: 23 | Signed through 2022
As can be seen, three of the Patriots’ tackles are entering contract seasons — among them starting left tackle Isaiah Wynn.
